Norwegian Krumkake is a traditional Norwegian waffle cookie that is typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. These delicate, crispy treats are made using a special Krumkake iron and are often filled with whipped cream or other sweet fillings. This recipe will guide you through the process of making authentic Norwegian Krumkake from scratch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cardamom, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and you have a smooth batter.
- Heat the Krumkake iron on a stovetop over medium heat.
- Place a tablespoon of batter in the center of the hot iron, close the lid, and cook for about 30 seconds until the cookie turns golden brown.
- Carefully remove the cookie from the iron using a wooden or heat-resistant spatula.
- While the cookie is still warm, gently roll it around a Krumkake cone or a clean, wooden spoon handle to create its traditional cone shape.
- Allow the cookie to cool and harden into shape.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Krumkake as is or fill it with your choice of sweet fillings, such as whipped cream, jam, or Nutella.
- Enjoy your homemade Norwegian Krumkake!
