Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the egg and sugar until the mixture thickens.

Step 2: Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add the butter to the egg mixture.

Step 3: Mix in spices and then slowly add the flour while stirring to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This improves the texture of the krumkaker.

Step 5: Spoon about one heaping tablespoon of batter onto iron and bake. If the batter is too thick, add some water to it.

Step 6: While still hot, shape the krumkake with a wooden krumkake roller or over a cup (if using a cup, make them a bit thicker). The krumkaker harden quickly, so you can just let them sit on the roller/cup until the next krumkake is ready to be shaped.

Step 7: After completely cooled, store the krumkaker in a metal or glass tin lined with paper towels at the bottom. You can also freeze them!
