Norwegian Krumkake

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
• 6 tablespoons water

Recipe

• 1 cream together the butter and sugar.
• 2 stir in the eggs one at a time.
• 3 stir in the flour, mixing well.
• 4 gradually add water until the batter is the consistency of a thick cream sauce.
• 5 lightly grease the 2 sides of a krumkake iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
• 6 heat over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
• 7 spoon a heaping tablespoon of the batter into the center of the iron. squeeze the sides closed enough to spread the batter, but not so much it overflows the sides. (keep a damp towel nearby to wipe off any drips. because of the butter content, you may accidentally get krumkake flambé if you're not careful!).
• 8 bake 30 seconds, flip over, and bake 30 second more.
• 9 flip iron to original position. remove krumkake, and shape over a krumkake cone or a wooden spoon. slip off cone and allow to cool on a rack.
