Krumkake (Norwegian Rolled Waffle Cones)
One serving has 237 kcal and 4 g protein. Ready in 55 minutes.

- 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
- Melt the butter and let it cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar for 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the cooled butter, then the flour and cardamom, to a smooth batter that runs slowly off the spoon.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
