Krumkake Norwegian Cookie

Finished Krumkaka

Krumkaka is a Norwegian delicate but very delicious cookie that is made using batter and a Krumkake Iron. They are made similar to waffles by pouring a tablespoon of batter for each Krumkaka in a krumkake Iron, heating for approximately 30 seconds and quickly removing the flat krumkaka and rolling them using the special funnel shaped molding tools. Once they cool, they keep their shape but are very delicate. Our family makes 1 1/2 batches and when finished keep them in metal cans until ready to eat.

Beat eggs well. Add sugar, melted butter, salt and flavorings and beat well. Stir in flavorings.

Put approximately 1 tablespoon of batter for each form (most irons make two krumkaka at one time, some of the older stove top models make a single krumkake). Heat until lightly brown. If it stops steaming, it's done. Remove and quickly role on form (See photo at right).
