Krumkake

One of my favorite Christmas cookies is Krumkake. It is a crisp Norwegian rich buttery cookie. My grandma used to make it, and then after my mom gave me her Krumkake iron, I make it. It is so amazingly yummy but takes a while to make since they are made individually.


If anyone actually has a Krumkake iron and wants the recipe for these I will gladly share, but since that is a small kitchen appliance that isn’t in very many kitchens anymore, I’ll spare the rest of you the recipe, but I’ll still show you how they’re made.

First, the iron, it’s been well loved, can’t you tell by the marks all over it.

A dollop of batter in the middle then close it tight, squeezing it nice and thin. Watch out for the steam!



Flip it over and cook until it’s a nice golden color then once it’s taken off the iron, very quickly roll it into a cone shape, holding it down for a few seconds while it starts to cool.




You have to hold it very carefully because they are really hot.



Next . . . Tada!!! Light and crisp rich buttery tasting Krumkake.



Don’t you wish you were at my house right now having some?
