Krumkage
Krumkage is a Norwegian cookie made with traditional Norwegian ingredients. You use an iron to press the pattern into the cookie and then roll it to finish. It is very delicious and is good for any event.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Recipe:
"Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Heat Krumkage iron over stove. Place one teaspoon of batter in Krumkage iron, close it and cook Krumkage over medium heat on both sides. Remove from iron and shape into a cone, using a wooden spoon handle while still hot." (Spencer 144)
Results:
They turned out great! The batter turned out just how it should've and it was easy to work with. I learned that when you out the batter on the iron, don't put it exactly in the center. Put the batter a little bit further back because when you put the lid down on the iron, the batter will naturally be pushed forward. It was a trial and error process for the perfect size and time for it to cook fully. They should be golden before lifting it off the iron and rolling. Instead of using a wooden spoon handle to roll, I used a Krumkage roller (as seen in the first picture) to make it easier to roll. I would make these again and I totally recommend trying to make them yourself! Why do you think recipes either turn out the way they are supposed to or turn out not even close to the way they should?
