Krumkake!

A traditional Norwegian treat Shane's family passed down, along with the tools to make it. It's sweet, light, crisp and works well as breakfast, snacks or dessert.

 

You'll need to pick up or borrow a Norwegian Krumkake iron like this one, and a rolling cone like this one.

 

Ingredients

 

3 eggs

1 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (melted and cooled)

1/2 cup cold water

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. cardamom

 

Prep

 

Pre-heat Krumkake iron (medium-high heat, let both sides warm).

 

Beat eggs and sugar together until blended and fluffy. Mix in rest of ingredients until well-combined. Pour a generous tablespoon of batter onto the iron. Close the iron and flip over until both sides are very lightly browned (about 30-45 seconds per side, depending on your stove).

 

When done, open the iron and place the rolling cone on one edge, wrapping Krumkake along the cone until it's complete. Set rolling cone aside to cool while you cook the next one.

 

Once cool, pile Krumkake pastries on a plate and serve any way you like. Traditionally they were served with whipped cream or fruit inside. Tonight we served them as accompaniments to vanilla bean ice cream, drizzled with chocolate-Bailey's sauce.
