Norwegian Krumkake

Ingredients

• 3egg, large
• 3/4 cupsugar
• 2/3 cupbutter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 tspcardamom, ground
• nutmeg, a pinch
• 1/2 tspsalt
• 1 1/4 cupflour
• water, a splash; optional — added if batter is too thick

Method

1. 1

   Whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture thickens.

2. 7

   Once completely cooled, store in a metal or glass tin lined with paper towels. Can also be frozen.

3. 2

   Melt the butter and leave to cool slightly, then stir into the egg mixture.

4. 3

   Stir in the cardamom, nutmeg and salt, then slowly add the flour, stirring to avoid lumps.

5. 4

   Rest the batter for at least 30 minutes. If it seems too thick, stir in a small splash of water.

6. 5

   Heat a krumkake iron and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter onto the iron. Bake until golden.

7. 6

   Immediately while hot, roll around a krumkake cone roller or shape over a cup. The krumkake harden very quickly, so work fast. Let set on the roller until the next one is ready.
