Krumkaker for Christmas

December 17, 2017 By Therese Leave a Comment

Krumkaker is a Norwegian tradition during Christmas- best served with cloudberries and whipped cream. You will need a special Krumkake-iron for this, but you might already have one if you’re into Norwegian traditions!

Krumkake

Ingredients

4 eggs

250 g sugar

250 g butter, melted

250 g wheat flour

1/2 tsp cardamom, ground

Instructions

  1. Whip eggs and sugar to a fluffy consistency.
  2. Add melted butter, flour and cardamom and mix it all together.
  3. Let the mixture set for 10 minutes.
  4. Put a tablespoon of mixture on the iron and let it fry for a couple of minutes.
  5. Use a rolling pin to create the shape and leave to cool on a cooling rack while you make another.
  6. If the krumkake turns out too thick and soft add a bit of water to the batch to make it beautiful and crisp.
  7. Store in tin box for Christmas cookies!

Notes

A good thing to remember is to use as much butter, flour and sugar as the amount of eggs in grams. So if four eggs are 250 grams, use 250 grams of flour, butter and sugar as well.

Krumkake is supposed to be thin and crisp, to achieve this, add more water to the mixture.

Some families like their Krumkake to be thick and on the softer side, others preffer them super thin and crisp to the touch. Try different ways and see what you prefer!

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
