 Thanks again!
"All I can say is "WOW". Could hardly believe it when I saw the box on the front porch yesterday. It was amazing since I'd only finalized the order 24 hrs. earlier. I just want to say thanks for your prompt service and I can't wait to use it. I know I'll love it and will make many krumkaka batches before and during the holidays."

 Krumkake Irons
These Krumkake are Melt-in-Your-Mouth Delicious!
(and our Krumkake Bakers are Back in Stock for Fast Delivery)
|
The delicate, lacy Scandinavian cookies known as "krumkake" are a must-have at any Norwegian holiday celebration. They are made using a light batter poured on a special
hot griddle known as a krumkake iron or krumkake baker. These bakers
have special engravings on the metal that give krumkake their
distinctive patterns. The small round cookies are then shaped around a
cone and cooled into their flute shape.
Making krumkake is even more fun when two people make krumkake together.
One bakes the round cookies, and the other shapes the hot cookies
around the cone. Once slightly cooled, the krumkake are slid off the
cone and placed on a paper towel to cool. Lefse often serves as the bread for the meal while krumkake is cookie or dessert at the end.Krumkake are lovely filled with whipped cream and berries, jam and whipped cream, or just plain. You can make them anytime of the year using your special krumkake iron.
|
Suggestion: Your krumkake bakers come with one cone roller. Consider buying an extra cone roller with the nonstick electric baker so you can keep up with the process of making two krumkake at a time.
We do not recommend using the stove-top krumkake iron on flat-top or ceramic cooktops. You must be careful not to scratch or damage the cooktop. Most customers use the stove-top krumkake iron only on an electric coil or gas stovetop.

 Suggestions from Lorraine in Rochester, Minn.
Lorraine from Rochester, Minnesota is in her 80's and going strong. "I'm 101% Norwegian," she said. She makes many krumkake for the holidays and other times of the year. In fact, she has to make so many because her son can eat eight at a time!
Storing your krumkake
Lorraine's krumkake stay crispy for a long time, because she stores them in either a paper box or a metal cake pan with a lightweight plastic cover. She discourages us from storing our krumkake in sealed-up plastic containers. That tends to make them moist and lose their crispness.
Party table presentation
Lorraine fills a beautiful krumkake with whipped cream, places it in a champagne flute glass, and adds a cherry to the top for color. This makes for a stunning presentation for a party table any time of year.
New way to roll up your krumkake
Lorraine has an old broom handle that she's scrubbed up and uses for a cone roller for the krumkake. She diverges from the traditional cone-shaped krumkake, because, she says, they store better when the roll is even across the krumkake rather than wider on one end than the other. Makes sense, Lorraine. Unfortunately, LefseStore.com doesn't sell old broom handles......
Krumkake Recipe #2
Submitted by Karen Soucy (Thanks, Karen!):
I have my Grandmother's recipe for Krumkake. She was born and raised in Bergen, Norway
and this is the recipe handed down through the ages:
2 eggs 1 tsp cardamom
1 cup sugar 1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, softened 1 scant cup milk
Beat eggs well. Add sugar, butter and cardamom, beat well. Add flour and milk even parts at a time beat until smooth.
Because these were originally in metric measure this is as close as we can get. God Jul a month later!
