Norwegian Krumkake

Ingredients

  • Egg3 Large
  • Sugar3/4 cup
  • Butter2/3 Cup
  • Cardamom1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg1 pinch
  • Salt1/2 teaspoon
  • Flour1 1/4 cup
  • WaterSplash

Preparation Steps

▢

Whisk the egg and sugar until the mixture thickens.

▢

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add the butter to the egg mixture.

▢

Mix in spices and then slowly add the flour while stirring to avoid lumps.

▢

Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This improves the texture of the krumkaker.

▢

Spoon about one heaping tablespoon of batter onto iron and bake. If the batter is too thick, add some water to it.

▢

While still hot, shape the krumkake with a wooden krumkake roller or over a cup (if using a cup, make them a bit thicker). The krumkaker harden quickly, so you can just let them sit on the roller/cup until the next krumkake is ready to be shaped.

▢

After completely cooled, store the krumkaker in a metal or glass tin lined with paper towels at the bottom. You can also freeze them!
