Delicious Norwegian Krumkake Recipe for Authentic Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cardamom, ground (for flavor)
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the batter for even cooking.
  2. Preheat the Krumkake iron

    Heat your Krumkake iron on medium heat until it is hot.

    Lightly grease the iron with butter before pouring the batter.
  3. Cook the Krumkake

    Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the iron and close it. Cook for about 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.

    Do not open the iron too soon to avoid tearing the Krumkake.
  4. Shape the Krumkake

    Carefully remove the Krumkake and shape it around a cone or a rolling pin while it is still warm.

    Work quickly before the Krumkake cools and hardens.
  5. Serve and enjoy

    Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or berries if desired.

    Krumkake can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
