SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS CRISPY KRUMKAKE
Both the Norwegians and Swedes make krumkake, the thin, crisp cookie that is baked in a special krumkake iron. The iron in heated on top of the range on a burner and looks something like a waffle iron without deep grids. Krumkake irons usually have a fancy swirled design that imprints on the cookie. It takes special skill to eat these fragile cookies as well as patience to make them! But it isn't Christmas without them in a Scandinavian household.

Tips:
- Make sure your krumkake iron is properly seasoned before using it for the first batter. This will help prevent the batter from sticking and will also help the krumkakes to cook evenly.
- Use a light batter. A batter that is too thick will be difficult to spread thinly and will not cook evenly.
- Heat the iron to the correct temperature before cooking the krumkakes. If the iron is not hot enough, the batter will not cook properly. If the iron is too hot, the batter will burn.
- Cook the krumkakes for the correct amount of time. If they are cooked for too long, they will become hard and brittle. If they are cooked for too short a time, they will be soft and chewy.
- Serve the krumkakes immediately or store them in an airtight container. Krumkakes can be stored for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Krumkakes are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or for a simple snack. With a little practice, you can easily master the art of making krumkakes at home.
