Krumkake is a traditional Norwegian cookie that is a popular treat during Christmas and other special occasions. It is made from a thin batter that is cooked on a special iron and then rolled into a cone shape. Krumkake can be filled with whipped cream, jam, or other fillings, and is often served with coffee or tea.

This article provides two recipes for krumkake: a traditional recipe and a gluten-free recipe. The traditional recipe uses all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and cardamom, while the gluten-free recipe uses a blend of almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield delicious, crispy krumkake cookies.

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Fika

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons water
¾ teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
Sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries for serving (optional)

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.

NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE



Norwegian Krumkake image

I have been making these Norwegian Christmas cookies for most of my life... they are wonderful! I use an electric krumkake baker that makes two at a time. This is a must on our cookie list. They are a thin, delecate cookie... very easy and fun to make, and you will proudly display them on your sweet table and in containers as...

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c butter, melted (and cooled slightly)
4 eggs
1 c sugar
3/4 tsp ground cardamon
1 tsp vanilla extract (or rum, lemon extract, almond extract)
1 1/2 c flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter and cool slightly. In medium mixing bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add sugar; beat about 3 minutes or till sugar is almost dissolved. (Do not overbeat.) Stir the cooled butter, cardamom and vanilla into egg mixture. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Add flour mixture to egg mixture. Stir just till smooth. Drop by half a tablespoonful onto heated krumkake iron. When they are done, quickly roll them into cone shape (or desired shape)or lay flat on flat surface) *** These cookies harden quickly.
  • 2. ***You can serve them as is... or make a whipped cream filling, chocolate pudding filling, etc.... but serve right away when you put in a filling. ***You can roll them into cone shapes, cylinder shape, little bowls, or leave them flat. *** Most people eat them plain, but you can dip an edge in melted chocolate and add sprinkles too.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cookies: They should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them: This will help them hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Krumkake cookies can be filled with anything from whipped cream to jam to fruit.

Conclusion:

Krumkake cookies are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With a little practice, you can master the art of making krumkake cookies and impress your friends and family with this classic Norwegian treat.
