Uncle Odd's "krumkaker" Recipe #335899
Traditional Norwegian christmas cookie
by Silvermolly
10 min | 10 min prep
SERVES 30 , 30 rolls or cups
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sifted flour (wheat)
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (or to your liking)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Whisk eggs and sugar untill starting to thicken.
- Add the flour, cardamum and melted butter.
- Add the cold water in the end.
- Stir into a nice smooth batter.
- Leave the batter in the fridge for an hour or so. (or a day or two if you don't have the time to do the baking right now).
- And here's the big deal - you have to cook them in a "krumkakejern", either one to use on your stove or and electrical one.
- Add a tablesppon of batter onto the hot and greased (just the first one) iron. Cook light brown (need some practice) and roll into nice rolls, cool over a small dish to create small "cups" to fill with icecream, whipped cream and berries, or other desserts, or use a "krumkakeruller" which can be bougth in stores overseas (scandinavia), just as the iron. They should be thin and crisp.
- These "cookies" taste wonderful, and in Norway you just have to have them for Christmas. They're a must, and if you've made them into small cups and fill them with wipped cream and cloudberries, and maybe some cloudberry liquor on top, it's the perfect dessert.
