No, it’s not pronounced “crumbcake”…it’s “kroom-kaka”! Krumkakes are a Scandinavian delicacy, much like a little waffle cone. You can fill them with whipped cream or anything you like, but they’re so good all alone, why bother? Th... More

Ingredients
  • ½ cup melted butter, cooled to room temp
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
  1. Using a wire whisk, blend the sugar with the butter, then whisk in beaten eggs.
  2. Slowly whisk in the whipping cream.
  3. Add flour and all of the remaining dry ingredients and extract, whisking together until well blended.
  4. The mixture is the consistency of very thick pancake batter.
  5. Drop batter by teaspoonful onto preheated KrumKake iron and cook about 30 seconds, or until cookie is just lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove cookie from iron and immediately roll around krumkake cone to shape.
  7. Cool on waxed paper and store in air-tight container (I prefer glass over plastic for storing these - seems to keep them crispier).

FINALLY! My brain exploded and my computer actually crashed when I saw this. Thank you for posting! Swedish soul food!


I've never heard of a Krumkake iron...Can I use a pizzelle maker for these?


I love it!! ;)


These are lovely! And I'll bet they are delicious!


What a wonderful Christmas present to us, finally the Krumkake recipe! Thanks so much for sharing ~ bookmarked! :-)

Happy Holidays Krum... Be safe... hugsssss


Lutefiske, Lutefiske, Leftsa, Leftsa, Merry Christmas Ya sure, you betcha...Those look PERFECT...I have my moms old iron. I've never seen a 2 banger like yours. These are so delish but they take forever and a day to make. No wonder they are such a treat.
Merry Christmas


Wonderful recipe and step by step, thanks Krum!


Thank you, everyone, for your comments - I have to give my youngest daughter credit this time...I told her it was time the "krumkake-making art" be passed down to the next generation and SHE made these today!!! Her grandma (at 89 years of age) is SO proud of her - she did a fantastic job as a first-time krumkake "baker and roller"...a tradition has been passed down - an ethnic recipe carried on...my holiday is now complete! Thank you again for your nice comments on the recipe. Now you know the secret of my "foodie" name.


Krum.. .that is such a nice story! I passed down my coconut cake... God.. were getting old!

I actually looked at a iron to make these... I think next year.. I will. They prob will be on sale after the Holidays...

Merry Christmas Krum...
Hey... hows the weather? Saw snow on the football game!


Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
krumkake posts krumkake - i love it. it's like an autobiography right here in group recipes. DIVINE!


Josh's brother loved these - I had to send some home with him. He was planning on filling them with some ice cream or something sweet. These really are good! :-)


Krum...I saw these in Europe too.... Wonderful.....you always come up with the perfect recipe....Good Girl.....


Delicious *salivate* and I haven't had these in ages. I am bookmarking your recipe to try soon. Thank you for sharing!

I am not a baker but this looks easy enough for me to attempt. I wisdh myself good luck hahaha


Now how did I miss this one?! I love it! Where do I find one of those fancy irons in the picture? These look wonderful!


You get points for the name alone. I need to find something that's called Sunny. = )


Being a good Norwegian I can't have a holiday with out these. I made these cookies for the first time in September. Boy was that fun. A fun way to change the flavor a little is by changing what kind of extract you use. I prefer the orginal but hazelnut is good as well.


Isn't it nice to pass the torch, I have done that alot lately. In have a pitzell iron, I also gave it to my daughter this last Christmas. We would love to make these together. I will have to work on getting a krumkake cone. And atlas wee all know the secret of you foodie name. You are one neat lady...:)


This looks much easier than doing it with my old fashioned cast iron pan on the stove. I am sure it is a lot less messy, too.
My mom has an electric one, but she lives 3000 miles away from me.
