I grew up enjoying Norwegian krumkake sprinkled with powered sugar at Christmas (my mom was part Norwegian). My parents would make it on the old Nordicware krumkake iron on the stovetop and give our neighbors a dozen as their Christmas gift. I've inherited the krumkake iron. I don't know how they every got it seasoned well enough not to be a nightmare - it's a royal pain in the a$$. This year I broke down and purchased an electric krumkake iron. Game changer my Norwegian friends. So easy!
Betty Busch's Krumkake
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine melted
5 Tbsp whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp cornstarch
Heat iron on medium high heat (or just plug in the electric krumkake iron). Beat eggs and sugar throughly; add butter, cream and vanilla. Blend flour and cornstarch and stir into egg mixture. Beat until smooth. Test iron with a few drops of water; if they "jump" iron is ready. Drop batter (about 1/2 tsp) on ungreased iron; close gently, do not squeeze. Bake on each side for 15 seconds (or bake for 30 seconds on electric iron). Remove immediately and roll on wooden roller. When cool dust with powdered sugar.
