NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CLOUDBERRIES
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.

- When krumkake iron is hot, put 1 teaspoon of batter on the iron and bake until light brown.
- Roll the cookie into a cone immediately while krumkake is still hot.
- When completely cooled store them in a air tight container.
- To serve lay the cookies next to a bowl of whipped cream which has the 2 Tablespoons of Cloudberries folded into it.
- Each person fills their cone with their desired amount of the creme mixture.
- OPTION: Sometimes when my sister has been unable to purchase cloudberries she has used either fresh raspberries or raspberry jam.
- I personally prefer the raspberries.
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.

Tips:
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies to be light and fluffy.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a krumkake iron that is heated to the correct temperature. If the iron is too hot, the cookies will burn. If the iron is too cold, the cookies will not cook properly.
- Roll the dough out thinly. This will help the cookies to be crispy.
- Cook the cookies for only a few minutes on each side. Overcooked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with whipped cream and cloudberries. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
Conclusion:
Krumkake is a delicious and traditional Norwegian cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy texture and sweet filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special treat, be sure to give krumkake a try.
