Krumkaker – Norwegian wafer cones

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 150 g sugar
  • 150 g butter
  • 150 g wheat flour
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • 1–3 tbsp water if needed

Method

  1. 1Melt butter and cool until lukewarm. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  2. 2Fold in butter, flour and cardamom. Rest for 30 minutes. Add a little water if the batter is too thick to spread in the iron.
  3. 3Heat the krumkake iron. Place about 1 tbsp batter in the centre, close and cook until golden. Adjust the amount and cooking time to your iron.
  4. 4Lift out the wafer and immediately wrap around a cone mould. Hold for a few seconds before removing the mould.
  5. 5Cool on a rack. Cook and shape one at a time, as the wafers set quickly. Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight tin.
