Ingredients

  • 3 Large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 2/3 Cup Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/4 cup Flour
  • Splash Water

Steps

  1. ▢
  2. Whisk the egg and sugar until the mixture thickens.
  3. ▢
  4. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add the butter to the egg mixture.
  5. ▢
  6. Mix in spices and then slowly add the flour while stirring to avoid lumps.
  7. ▢
  8. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This improves the texture of the krumkaker.
  9. ▢
  10. Spoon about one heaping tablespoon of batter onto iron and bake. If the batter is too thick, add some water to it.
  11. ▢
  12. While still hot, shape the krumkake with a wooden krumkake roller or over a cup (if using a cup, make them a bit thicker). The krumkaker harden quickly, so you can just let them sit on the roller/cup until the next krumkake is ready to be shaped.

  14. After completely cooled, store the krumkaker in a metal or glass tin lined with paper towels at the bottom. You can also freeze them!
