Not much of a baker or dessert person, but I make an exception for krumkake! Love keeping alive Norske traditions. (Plus, lefse is too much work!)

~For fingertips: Use salad tongs to help shape the hot form around the cone. ~For cleaning, try soaking a paper towel in water mixed with dishwasher detergent and let it sit between the iron for an hour. Try using a plastic kitchen scraper to dig matter out of the grooves. ~For serving, mix ice cream and berries into a thick milkshake consistency and pour into krumkake then drizzle the whole thing with hot fudge sauce or liqueur (chocolate, hazelnut, almond, fruit, etc). ~For gifting, re-purpose a tin, or line a paper bag with decorative paper napkin, stack 2-3 together and arrange them upright in the bag.

I would like to see some pictures of the cooking process and helpful tips as to how I can use my waffle iron instead of the krumkake iron. Thank you.

I have original instructions from my grandmas iron: wash with warm soapy water, never use harsh abrasives or steel wool on inside of plates; clean with a stiff vegetable type brush. My grandma taught me how to make these. She passed away many years ago, so I carry on the tradition and have taught my son. some years we have given them to teachers for a holiday gift. Although some years we are not able to fit this in before Christmas, so then it makes a perfect project for one of the cold snowy winter days.

I have my Mother’s old krumkake iron and still love making them – reminds me of her. Question – does anyone have a good way of cleaning one??? Through all the years mine has become built up with black burnt batter in the tiny holes. I’ve tried a tooth brush, etc. and nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas! Please email me any helpful hints.

In reply to Pat daw. Hi Pat, I am not sure how this batter will do in a pizzelle iron. Pizzelle irons have deeper grooves than a krumkake iron, and krumkake batter is pretty thin, so I'm not sure this batter is ideal for a pizzelle iron. I believe pizzelle batter is thicker. If you end up trying it, please do let me know how it turns out.

I was taught how to make these by my grandmother and have taught my daughters as well. I bought double electric irons for myself and daughters from Bethany Housewares and they works wonderfully

Hi,

I wish I had some tips for not burning your hands, but unfortunately I don’t. I just work very quickly in an attempt to minimize the heat. Good luck!

Those are beautiful krumkake. My grandma has been teaching me how to make krumkake lately, and one of the most difficult things about it is how to make them without burning one’s fingers. Do you have any tips?

Wow! Your Krumkake looks amazing!
My boyfriend is Norwegian and we’re living in Oslo. We made Krumkake for christmas, ours are very crumbly and not nearly as beautiful as yours… But can’t complain, they’re so tasty! Next time, I will try your recipe 🙂
