December 19 – Krumkake

It’s true. I have an old-fashioned hand held Krumkake iron. It was purchased in a small town in North Dakota. this recipe is from the old Betty Crocker Cookbook I posted a few days ago.

Here’s the recipe:

4 eggs
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter or margarine, melted
5 Tbsp whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c Gold Medal Flour
2 tsp cornstarch

Heat ungreased krumkake iron over small electric or gas 6-inch surface unit on medium-high heat. Beat all ingredients until smooth.

Test iron with few drops of water; if they “skitter” around, iron is correct temperature. Drop 1/2 tablespoon batter on iron; close gently. Bake about 15 seconds on each side or until light golden brown. Keep iron over heat at all times. Remove with knife; immediately roll around wooden roller. (An old fashioned clothespin works well.)

Clothespin?

More cookies. These were always known in my family as Butterballs. In Wade’s family, they were called Comeback Cookies. Betty Crocker goes with the name Russian Teacakes (Also called Mexican Wedding Cakes).

I liked the focus of the picture in b&w. The flour spotted shirt, the hair is emphasized, rather than the colors.
