How to Make Krumkake

  1. Preheat your krumkake iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter onto the hot, preheated krumkake iron. (Adjust amount based on your iron's size).
  7. Cook for about 1 minute, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
  8. Carefully remove the cooked Krumkake from the iron and immediately roll it into a cone shape around a rolling pin or cone-shaper while still warm and pliable. Hold the shape until it cools.
  9. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  10. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and fill with whipped cream or your favorite filling. Enjoy!
