NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CLOUDBERRIES



Norwegian Krumkake With Whipped Cream and Cloudberries image

My DBIL was born in Norway and loves his heritage foods. This is one of the recipes that my sister makes at Christmas time. It is my favorite Norwegian dish that she makes. These cookies are absolutely wonderful. Some people simply roll the cookies in a tube instead of making a cone. But my sister always makes them a cone.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use cold butter and cream. This will help the krumkake batter to stay firm and not spread too much when cooking.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the krumkake tough.
  • Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create the krumkake batter. This will help you to create even, consistent krumkake.
  • Cook the krumkake on a medium-low heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Once the krumkake are cooked, immediately roll them around a wooden dowel or rolling pin. This will help them to keep their shape.
  • Let the krumkake cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the krumkake soggy.

Conclusion:

Krumkake is a delicious and traditional Norwegian cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With its delicate, crispy texture and variety of filling options, krumkake is a treat that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a special cookie to make, give krumkake a try - you won't be disappointed!
