Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted butter to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and, if using, cardamom. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a krumkake iron (electric or stovetop) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lightly grease the krumkake iron if necessary. Place about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron and close the lid gently.
Cook for 20-30 seconds or until the krumkake is golden brown and crisp. Carefully remove with a spatula or fork.
While warm, quickly shape the krumkake into a cone using a cone-shaped roller or wrap it around the handle of a wooden spoon. Work quickly as the cookies harden as they cool.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron occasionally if needed.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. They can be served plain or filled with whipped cream, custard, or fruit if desired.
