Ingredients

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

Instructions

▢
Whisk the egg and sugar until the mixture thickens.
▢
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add the butter to the egg mixture.
▢
Mix in spices and then slowly add the flour while stirring to avoid lumps.
▢
Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This improves the texture of the krumkaker.
▢
Spoon about one heaping tablespoon of batter onto iron and bake. If the batter is too thick, add some water to it.
▢
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.
▢
After completely cooled, store the krumkaker in a metal or glass tin lined with paper towels at the bottom. You can also freeze them!
