Norwegian Krumkake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat krumkake iron on stove over medium heat. You can also use an electric krumkake or pizzelle iron.
• Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well using a spoon. Pour in the milk, flour, vanilla, and butter flavoring; mix well.
• Place a teaspoon of the batter on the preheated iron, and press together. Cook until browned, about 30 seconds per side, depending on the heat. Remove from the iron and quickly roll up around a stick or around a cone before they harden.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, cream the sugar with the butter.
• Beat in the eggs until the mixture is light and lemon colored.
• Beat in the milk and flour until blended and smooth.
• Let stand 30 minutes.
• Preheat the krumkake iron until a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the top.
• Open the iron, coat lightly with nonstick spray.
• Spoon 1 T batter onto center of the hot iron.
• Close iron.
• Bake about 1 minute on each side until the cookie is lightly browned.
• Insert the tip of a knife under the cookie to remove from the iron; roll the hot cookie into a cigar or cone shape.
• Cool on a rack.
• Cookies become crisp as they cool.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Batter will thicken as you use it; add water a tablespoon at a time as necessary to thin it to the consistency of thick cream.
• Store the baked cookies in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Cream together the butter and sugar.
• Stir in the eggs one at a time.
• Stir in the flour, mixing well.
• Gradually add water until the batter is the consistency of a thick cream sauce.
• Lightly grease the 2 sides of a krumkake iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
• Heat over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the batter into the center of the iron. Squeeze the sides closed enough to spread the batter, but not so much it overflows the sides. (Keep a damp towel nearby to wipe off any drips. Because of the butter content, you may accidentally get krumkake flambé if you're not careful!).
• Bake 30 seconds, flip over, and bake 30 second more.
• Flip iron to original position. remove krumkake, and shape over a krumkake cone or a wooden spoon. Slip off cone and allow to cool on a rack.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream the sugar with the butter. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is light and lemon colored. Beat in the milk and flour until blended and smooth. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Preheat the krumkake iron until a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the top.
• Open the iron; coat lightly with nonstick spray. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter onto center of the hot iron. Close iron. Bake about 1 minute on each side until the cookie is lightly browned. Insert the tip of a knife under the cookie to remove form the iron; roll the hot cookie into a cigar or cone shape. Cool on a rack. Cookies become crisp as they cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Batter will thicken as you use it; add water a tablespoon at a time as necessary to thin it to the consistency of thick cream. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container. They can be kept frozen for several weeks.

Steps:

• For the strawberry filling: Put the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to drain the extra liquid.
• Meanwhile, chop the strawberries and mix with the granulated sugar. Place into a strainer over a bowl and let the strawberries sit for 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator to drain the excess liquid.
• Add the strained ricotta and heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk the mixture until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and whisk just until combined. Add the strained strawberries and stir by hand to incorporate.
• For the waffle cookie: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, salt, cardamom, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
• For the cannoli: Heat a krumkake iron on medium. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• When the iron is ready, spray cooking spray lightly on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the batter in the center. (Use another spoon to help scoop out the batter from your tablespoon, because the batter is slightly thick.) Close the iron and cook the waffle cookies for 1 1/2 minutes. Working quickly, open the iron and immediately roll one of the waffle cookies with a non-metal spoon over a krumkake mold. Remove to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool in the mold. Repeat with the other waffle cookie. Each cookie will crisp up as it cools, about 2 minutes. Gently slide the waffle cookie off the krumkake mold and repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the chocolate sauce: Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a heat resistant bowl into the pot. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.) The steam will heat and melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to the bowl and stir to melt.
• Working quickly, dip the larger end of a waffle cookie in the chocolate and return the cookie to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the tray of cookies into the fridge or freezer to quickly cool, approximately 10 minutes.
• Snip the end of a piping bag, then place it into a tall glass and fold the top of the bag over the lip of the glass. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the strawberry filling into the piping bag. Twist the top to close.
• Taking one waffle cookie at a time, pipe the strawberry filling into the cone. Sprinkle with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Repeat with the remaining waffle cookies. Serve.
