NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• In smaller bowl, beat eggs and then add cream, vanilla, and butter. Mix well
• Add liquid mixture into dry mixture and combined until a smooth peanut butter like consistency
• Preheat krumkake grill
• Each Krumkake will require about 1 ½ tablespoons of batter. Add one to your Krumkake maker and cook until golden brown. For my tool, this is about 1:30 seconds.
• Remove with fork and use Krumkake tool to form into cone before it cools down
• Allow grill to heat back up, repeat until batter is gone
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Fill with whipped cream and fruit. Eat!

KRUMKAKE / KRUMKAKER

Steps:

• In a blender, grind flax seed into meal.
• Add the 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon water and blend until incorporated, then pour into a mixing bowl.
• Add the sugar, Crisco, soy milk (vanilla flavored works fine,) and vanilla extract and mix well with a wooden spoon.*.
• Add 1 1/2 cups flour and stir until incorporated. Add additional flour only to make a very soft dough, up to the remaining 1/2 cup, but not necessarily the full amount, The mixture should be thicker than a batter, but not a stiff dough. Less flour makes a lighter, crisper cookie. More flour makes a thicker cookie.
• Allow the dough to rest while heating the cookie iron.
• Spray krumkake iron with oil prior to placing dough for each cookie, or as needed to prevent sticking.
• When cookie iron is ready, spoon approximately one tablespoon of batter to make each five inch cookie. The cookie is done when steam stops escaping from the sides of the cookie iron and the cookies are very lightly browned.
• Remove cookies from iron by rolling over a wooden krumkake pin, wooden spoon handle, or with a non-metal spatula to make flat cookies.
• Place on cookie racks to cool before stacking.
• Repeat to use remaining dough.
• Cooking time is approximate and depends on how quickly or slowly the cook can roll a krumkake!
• Cookies are best stored in tins to retain their crispness.
• Fill with vegan frosting, fruit, or whatever pleases you. Dust with powdered sugar if you like. They are fine without, as well.
• *1/2 teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon, or any other spice may be added to the mix prior to the flour if you like.

KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Heat ungreased krumkake iron over medium-high heat on smallest surface unit of electric or gas range (for electric irons, follow manufacturer's directions). Beat all ingredients until smooth. Test iron with a few drops of water; if they skitter around, iron is correct temperature.
• Lightly brush inside top and bottom of iron with shortening or vegetable oil. Drop 1/2 tablespoon batter onto iron; close gently. Cook about 15 seconds on each side or until light golden brown. Keep iron over heat at all times. Remove cookie with knife. Immediately roll cookie around roller or handle of large wooden spoon. Cool on wire rack.

NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Heat krumkake iron on stove over medium heat. You can also use an electric krumkake or pizzelle iron.
• Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well using a spoon. Pour in the milk, flour, vanilla, and butter flavoring; mix well.
• Place a teaspoon of the batter on the preheated iron, and press together. Cook until browned, about 30 seconds per side, depending on the heat. Remove from the iron and quickly roll up around a stick or around a cone before they harden.

WHIPPED CREAM KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl until very light. Add sugar gradually, beating to blend. Slowly add melted butter, then whipped cream and nutmeg. Mix in flour. (Dough will be consistency of cookie dough.) Chill dough thoroughly. , Preheat krumkake iron over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until a drop of water "dances" when dropped onto plates. Brush plates with butter; place 1 tablespoon dough in center of lower plate. Close iron and press handles together. If excess dough comes out sides, remove with a table knife. , Bake for about 30 seconds; flip iron and bake for about 30 seconds on the other side. Remove krumkake and immediately roll over a cone-shaped form. Place seam side down on parchment to cool; remove form. , If desired, fill some or all of the cooled cones with sweetened whipped cream. Serve immediately.

NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Place butter in a medium skillet (preferably not nonstick or cast iron so that you can more easily see the color change) and heat over medium low heat, swirling the pan frequently. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook over medium low, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter has a nutty aroma and is golden brown in color. Don't walk away from the stove! Brown butter can go from perfect to burnt in a matter of seconds. Transfer brown butter to a bowl to cool.
• Whisk salt, cornstarch and flour together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Combine granulated sugar and eggs in a large bowl and whisk until fully combined and no lumps of sugar remain. Slowly whisk in cooled brown butter and vanilla extract. Keep whisking until the mixture is emulsified and cohesive.
• Add milk and water and whisk until fully combined. Add flour mixture and whisk until batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Rest batter for 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
• Working with 1 tablespoon of batter at a time, bake cookies on a krumkake iron, either an electric model or one that goes on the stove, according to manufacturer's instructions. It may take a few tries to get the hang of how your iron works so be patient. I like to err on the side of a cookie that is darker in color. They are more crisp and have better flavor.
• Remove the hot cookie from iron and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Quickly, while the cookie is still hot, carefully roll the krumkake around a cone-shaped form. Use the towel to help start the rolling process if the cookies are too hot for your fingers. The sooner you begin rolling the better. The cookies will almost immediately start to harden as they cool and become difficult or impossible to roll into a cone shape. Let the rolled cookie rest with the form inside, seam side down on the clean towel, while the next cookie is baking. Remove the cone form and transfer krumkake to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve.

ORANGE CARDAMOM KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Grease the krumkake iron with oil or vegetable spray. Heat iron over medium low heat. You should only need to grease the iron once. If using an electric krumkake iron, follow manufacturer's directions for preheating.
• Sift the flour, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large bowl. Stir the sugar, salt, and orange zest into the flour mixture until evenly blended.
• Place the butter and half-and-half into a microwavable bowl. Cover and cook in microwave until warm, about 25 seconds. Cool slightly. Whisk the eggs, one at a time, into to the half-and-half mixture. Stir the cream mixture into the flour mixture until well blended.
• Using preheated krumkake iron, place 1 tablespoon of batter onto each krumkake mold, using a second spoon to scrape off the batter. Close the krumkake iron, and cook until the iron stops steaming and the cookies are golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully peel the krumkake cookie from the iron and while still hot, and wrap around a wooden krumkake cone to make the traditional cone shape. Hold in place until set, about 10 seconds, remove and cool completely on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining batter.
