Norwegian heart waffles

In Norway, waffles are not a breakfast but an everyday treat: thin, soft heart-shaped vafler made with sour cream and cardamom, sold at school fairs and football matches and made at home on Sunday afternoons, eaten folded with strawberry jam and sour cream or brown cheese. Their texture is soft rather than crisp. A common mistake is opening the iron too early, which tears them. Chef's tip: let the batter rest for 30 minutes and brush the iron with butter before each waffle; they lift out whole and golden.

Ostkaka

Ostkaka, 'cheese cake', is the old festive pudding of Småland in southern Sweden: milk is set with rennet into fresh curd, which is mixed with cream, eggs, sugar and ground almonds, including a few bitter almond drops, and baked slowly until just set. It is eaten warm, never cold, with strawberry or cloudberry jam and whipped cream, at midsummer, weddings and on Småland Sundays. Animal rennet is traditional; vegetarian rennet works the same. A common mistake is baking it too hot, which makes it watery and grainy. Chef's tip: bake low and slow until it just wobbles in the centre; it firms up as it rests.

Devon cream tea scones

A cream tea is the West Country's afternoon treat: warm scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam with a pot of tea, served in tea gardens across Devon and Cornwall. In Devon the cream goes on first and the jam on top; in Cornwall it's the other way round, and the argument never ends. These scones are plain and light so the cream and jam shine. Chef's tip: cut straight down with the cutter and don't twist it, or the scones rise lopsided.
