When I was a kid, waffles were my idea of heaven on a plate served with homemade jam, lots of sweetened whipped cream and when available, fresh wild berries . . as a treat or dessert, the Icelandic way! My mother, however, had other ideas of how we should enjoy our waffles! As a home economist who believed in healthy and nutritious cooking, she always made the waffle batter without sugar and often served us the waffles with savory toppings for breakfast or weekend brunch!
