This traditional Scandinavian treat is a thin, crisp cookie that is baked in a special krumkake iron (something like a waffle iron, but with more decorative, lacier and shallower grids. From the Minnesota Scandinavian chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947 Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup cream |
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together throughly to make a thin batter.
2. Preheat krumkake iron over medium heat on top of range until a drop of water sizzles when dropped on top.
3. Open iron; lightly brush inside top and bottom with shortening, oil or melted butter.
4. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter onto center of hot iron; close iron.
5. Bake about 1 minute on each side until cookie is lightly browned.
6. Insert tip of a knife under cookie to remove from iron; roll hot cookie into a cone shape.
7. Cool on rack.
8. Cookies become crisp as they cool.
