A very delicate Norwegian pastry similar to Krumkake. This is the old traditional Norwegian recipe that has been handed down for 5 generations (since early 1800s) of Norwegians. No cardamom or other special flavorings. Only problem is not eating them while you make them!
Ready in: 16 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 1 cup regular sugar
• 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup half & half (a combination of milk and cream with fat content up to 20%)
• 3 cups flour

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 1 min

1. Combine ingredients and mix until completely smooth. The batter will be a thick or heavy consistency.
2. Using a heated strull iron (a krumkake iron will work also), place a heaping teaspoon of batter on iron, close tightly, and cook until light brown (about 45 seconds).
3. Remove and immediately wrap around a wooden dowel (the original recipe says size of a pitchfork handle!) to create a cylinder (or as my son says “a toilet paper roll”). You can also just lay flat to speed process.
4. Store in airtight container as humidity will cause them to become limp.
5. Enjoy these very addictive authentic Norwegian cookies!
