Krumkake Recipie

Here are a few of Katrina's grandmother's favorite recipes from her Old World Scandinavian Coffeehouse. Simple and fun, they'd be great to throw together for a book club meeting!


Anna's Krumkake Cookies

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1 dash of nutmeg



Cooking Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add sugar; beat about 3 minutes or till sugar is almost dissolved.

Stir butter into egg mixture.Then add flour, vanilla or almond extract, and nutmeg, and stir until smooth.

Heat a krumkake iron on the range-top over medium-low heat. Once hot, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter onto the ungreased iron. (These measurements are for a six inch iron. Use more or less depending on the size of your own.) Close gently but firmly.

Cook over medium-low heat about 30 seconds, or until light golden brown. Turn iron and cook about 30 seconds more, then open the iron carefully.

Loosen cookie with a narrow spatula, and move onto a wire rack.

Immediately roll the cookie into a cone or cylinder, using a wooden or metal form. Let cool around the cone or cylinder till the cookie holds its shape.

Reheat the iron and repeat with remaining batter. Cool all rolled cookies on a wire rack.

If desired, before serving, pipe or fill with whipped cream and top with chopped almonds or c

hocolate-flavored sprinkles. These are also yummy served with preserves.

Enjoy!
