Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 3
Gradually mix in the flour until well incorporated.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract for a hint of flavor.
Step 6
Preheat a krumkake iron (traditional or electric) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 7
Lightly grease the iron with a thin layer of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron and close the lid, pressing gently.
Step 9
Cook for 30-60 seconds, or until the krumkake is golden brown and crisp. Adjust timing based on your iron and batter consistency.
Step 10
Quickly remove the krumkake from the iron and shape it into a cone using a wooden or metal cone mold. You may also leave it flat to cool, depending on preference.
Step 11
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the iron as necessary.
Step 12
Allow the krumkake to cool completely, which will help it become even crisper. Serve plain or filled with whipped cream or sweetened ricotta for added decadence.
