The holiday season is here! What better time to make a special cookie to add to your cookie platter.
These krumkake cookies are a real treat. They are a delicate Norwegian waffle cookie made in a special electric iron and rolled into a cone shape.
Traditionally flavored with cardamom, I usually make mine with almond extract for a slightly different flavor. You’ll find directions for both versions below.
WHY I LOVE THESE COOKIES
First of all, I like to celebrate my Scandinavian heritage. I’m not Norwegian but I think I have a little of every other Scandinavian country in me. I think that makes it close enough, right?
I love the way these lovely cookies look, with a delicate design cooked into the surface of the dough. When you roll them up in a cone shape they look a little bit like a waffle cone. And even though I wouldn’t recommend they be used for ice cream, many other fillings and decorations are possible.
Krumkaker are a great way to dress up a holiday cookie tray. Fill the tray with easy fudge, cut out cookies, peanut butter brownie bites, and chocolate peppermint kiss cookies. Then top it off with krumkaker for a showstopper presentation!
And by the way, "krumkake" looks like a Norwegian spelling for "crumb cake" but it is actually pronounced kroom-kaka. Krumkaker is the plural form of the word.
INGREDIENTS
HOW TO MAKE THIS KRUMKAKE RECIPE
The batter is very simple. First beat together the eggs and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes. The eggs should lighten slightly in color.
Then, add butter (melted and cooled) and almond extract and mix well to combine.
Now, sift together the flour and cornstarch and add it to the batter. Mix very well. I use a hand mixer for all these steps; no need to switch to a spoon or spatula. Read More…
