Norwegian Krumkake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
  • 6 tablespoons water

Method

  1. Combine the butter and sugar, creaming them together.
  2. Add the eggs individually, stirring after each addition.
  3. Mix in the flour thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Pour in the water gradually until the batter resembles a thick cream sauce.
  5. Apply a light coating of cooking spray or melted butter to both surfaces of the krumkake iron.
  6. Place the iron over a heat source until a water droplet sizzles upon contact.
  7. Place a heaped tablespoon of batter in the middle of the iron. Close the sides to spread the batter without letting it spill over.
  8. Cook for 30 seconds, then turn the iron over and cook for another 30 seconds.
  9. Return the iron to its starting position. Take out the krumkake and mould it over a cone or wooden spoon. Let it cool on a rack after removing it from the mould.
