List of Ingredients

How to Serve

You’ll agree, preparing a complex dish while spending a lot of time in the kitchen isn’t what we all dream of on a fine summer day. That’s why the recipe for these Juhannus waffles is great for mid-summer season. They mix up very quickly and bake even faster (not to mention how quickly they are eaten).

Why Juhannus? Juhannus is the Finnish word for Midsummer, a major national holiday celebrating the summer solstice, often called Saint John’s Day, filled with traditions like lighting bonfires (kokko) by lakes, enjoying saunas, grilling, dancing, and spending time at summer cottages (mökki) with family and friends during the longest days of the year.

But even on Midsummer, breakfast is needed. So let’s go make some waffles.
