Orange Cardamom Krumkake
Opting for a change from my usual traditional recipe, I experimented with a new one aiming for more flavor. The results were a resounding success – the krumkake turned out delightfully crisp, boasting an unexpected orange spice infusion. Using my electric krumkake iron, each batch took just over a minute to cook, though traditional irons may vary depending on their heat levels.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- ⅔ cup half-and-half
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Grease the krumkake iron with oil or vegetable spray. Heat iron over medium low heat. You should only need to grease the iron once. If using an electric krumkake iron, follow manufacturer's directions for preheating.
- Sift the flour, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large bowl. Stir the sugar, salt, and orange zest into the flour mixture until evenly blended.
- Place the butter and half-and-half into a microwavable bowl. Cover and cook in microwave until warm, about 25 seconds. Cool slightly. Whisk the eggs, one at a time, into to the half-and-half mixture. Stir the cream mixture into the flour mixture until well blended.
- Using preheated krumkake iron, place 1 tablespoon of batter onto each krumkake mold, using a second spoon to scrape off the batter. Close the krumkake iron, and cook until the iron stops steaming and the cookies are golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully peel the krumkake cookie from the iron and while still hot, and wrap around a wooden krumkake cone to make the traditional cone shape. Hold in place until set, about 10 seconds, remove and cool completely on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining batter.
