Whipped Cream Krumkake Recipe 5
This recipe guides you in making traditional Norwegian Krumkake, delicate, crispy waffle cookies often rolled into cones. Made from a simple batter including eggs, sugar, butter, cream, and flour, they are baked on a special iron and are perfect as a dessert or treat.
Equipment
- 1 Krumkake Iron Essential for baking the cookies.
- 2 Mixing Bowls For wet and dry ingredients.
- 1 Whisk or Electric Mixer For mixing batter and whipping cream.
- 1 Krumkake Cone Roller To shape the hot cookies.
- 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
Main
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sweet butter melted
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream whipped
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Sweet butter for krumkake plates
Instructions
- Melt the sweet butter and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and well combined.
- Gently fold the cooled melted butter, whipped heavy cream, and nutmeg into the egg mixture.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms with the consistency of thin pancake batter.
- Heat the krumkake iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates with sweet butter as needed to prevent sticking.
- Pour or spoon approximately 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the center of the hot iron.
- Close the lid and press gently. Cook for 30-60 seconds, or until the cookie is golden brown and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the hot krumkake from the iron using a thin spatula.
- Immediately roll the hot cookie around a krumkake cone roller or a wooden dowel to form a cone or cylinder shape. Hold for a few seconds until it cools and holds its shape.
- Place the formed krumkake on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the iron as necessary.
Notes
Ensure the krumkake iron is properly preheated for even cooking and crisp texture. Batter consistency is key; it should be like thin pancake batter. Work quickly when rolling the hot cookies, as they become brittle as they cool. For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract or cardamom to the batter. These delicate cones are wonderful filled with whipped cream, ice cream, or simply enjoyed plain.
