Dive into this culinary adventure and discover the diverse flavors and textures that make krumkake a cherished delicacy.
ORANGE CARDAMOM KRUMKAKE
I decided to try a new recipe with a little more flavor than the traditional one I've been using. This one was definitely a hit. The krumkake turned out nicely crisp with a surprising orange spice flavor. My krumkake iron is electric and took a little over a minute to cook each one, but traditional irons will vary according to how hot it is.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh cardamom. Freshly ground cardamom pods will give your krumkake a more intense flavor than pre-ground cardamom.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the krumkake tough.
- Be careful when rolling the krumkake. The dough is delicate, so be careful not to tear it.
- Use a hot krumkake iron. A hot krumkake iron will help the krumkake cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the krumkake iron. Overcrowding the krumkake iron will prevent the krumkake from cooking evenly.
- Let the krumkake cool completely before filling it. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
Conclusion:
Krumkake is a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed on its own or filled with a variety of fillings. With its delicate flavor and unique shape, krumkake is a perfect addition to any holiday cookie platter.
