I think? My BF's family is Norwegian. He has spoken of a cookie his mom (I think) used to make around Christmas. I found on a Norwegian recipe site 3 versions of Krumkaka(e). It menstions a Krumkaka iron. What the heck is that? I dont remember him mentioning a special iron or press. I want to suprise him if I can fgure it out. Even if they become a new Years cookie. help OK I google imaged it. NOW I know what they are. ((He's not really good at explaining i guess)) So what do these taste like? The recipe sounds alot like abutter cookie???
I can't remember what butter cookies taste like, but I'm sure Biita will help compare them. They are not too sweet or filling, and crisp. My mother makes them for us every Christmas. They're a must along with cloudberry cream on Christmas Day. She uses a special iron to cook them, and then roll them around a krumkake pin to make the cone shape.
Ok, I went to my usual recipe site and there were a bunch listed, also some called kringla. So here's the link, then I'm going to go see if any of them talk much about forming them http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.as ... archIn=All
Well I love Krumkake, but I don't have the iron to make them, but aunt did bring hers an we are making some today. I already got the cloudberry sauce made for the rice porridge, an the krumkake. okay, the taste of krumkake is kind of like a butter cookie but its so thin an well crumbly, if not handled gently. but yes Wrennie you are so close with the comparison. Just think of pizelles (spelling) but thinner. the taste is not like a pizelle. an the form to make the cone is like the toy top. Kringle(norwegian spelling) or Kringla(swedish spelling) is a pastry dough that is rolled into a figure 8, or other designs. but they are usually large like a plate. Think of king cakes here, or large danishes,,, thats a kringle. droopy would be better tho as far as recipes goes, since i made one last yr an well lets just say the birds had a merry christmas.
I don't bake kringle. In fact, I don't bake much. Strange, because I enjoy it. The dough for lussekatter may also be used to make a kringle shape, but will of course need longer in the oven.
