NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• Add flour, sugar, corn starch, cardamom to large bowl. Mix well.
• 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!

NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream the sugar with the butter. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is light and lemon colored. Beat in the milk and flour until blended and smooth. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Preheat the krumkake iron until a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the top.
• Open the iron; coat lightly with nonstick spray. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter onto center of the hot iron. Close iron. Bake about 1 minute on each side until the cookie is lightly browned. Insert the tip of a knife under the cookie to remove form the iron; roll the hot cookie into a cigar or cone shape. Cool on a rack. Cookies become crisp as they cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Batter will thicken as you use it; add water a tablespoon at a time as necessary to thin it to the consistency of thick cream. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container. They can be kept frozen for several weeks.

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.
