- "Spry" ain't a Norwegian word, and I don't know what it might mean.
- I'm no expert on Norwegian waffles (vafler!), but I think a common
- recipe would include milk, flour and sugar. I'm not sure about
- shortening, but I think it is common to spread a little butter on the
- waffle-pan (?) before pouring in the batter. Some like to add a little
- cardamom to the batter. I also think some add a little baking powder.
- Adding sour cream to the batter gives a really nice taste.
