  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (60.6 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 16.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 14 g Sugar
  • 14 g Butter, unsalted
  • 14 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.1 g Cardamom, ground
  • 2 g Sugar, powdered (icing sugar)

Method

  1. Melt the butter and let it cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar for 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Stir in the cooled butter, then the flour and cardamom, to a smooth batter that runs slowly off the spoon.
  3. Heat the krumkake iron over medium heat on the stove, or switch on an electric one, and brush it lightly with butter for the first cake.
  4. Put a heaped teaspoon of batter in the middle of the iron, close it and bake for 30-60 seconds, turning a stovetop iron halfway, until the cake is pale golden.
  5. Lift the thin cake off with a knife and roll it at once around the cone-shaped wooden roller; it sets crisp within seconds. Slide it off and cool it on a rack. Bake the rest of the batter the same way, three cakes a serving.
  6. Keep them in an airtight tin. Dust with icing sugar to serve, or fill them just before serving with whipped cream, cloudberry cream or berries.
