Authentic Norwegian Krumkake Recipe for Delicious Desserts

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.

    Make sure to beat the eggs well for a light texture.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients

    Stir in the melted butter, heavy cream, flour, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  3. Preheat the iron

    Preheat the Krumkake iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    A properly heated iron will create a crispier texture.
  4. Cook the Krumkake

    Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the hot iron and close it. Cook for about 30 seconds or until golden brown.

    Adjust cooking time based on your iron's heat.
  5. Shape the cookies

    Remove the Krumkake from the iron and quickly shape it around a cone or rolling pin.

    Work fast before the cookie cools and hardens.
  6. Dust and serve

    Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or berries.

    Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
