A cookie that resembles a crunchy wafer and is wrapped into a cone is called a krumkake. For a tasty treat, pipe them with whipped cream or dip them in melted chocolate. You can even make your own ice cream cones with this recipe!
| Prep Time: | 10 mins |
| Cook Time: | 30 mins |
| Total Time: | 40 mins |
| Servings: | 50 |
| Yield: | 50 krumkake |
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon butter flavoring, optional
Instructions
- Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until combined; add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add flour, milk, vanilla, and butter flavoring; blend into the batter until smooth.
- Heat krumkake iron over a medium burner; lightly grease both sides of the iron with butter or cooking spray.
- Spoon about one tablespoon of batter onto the center of the preheated iron; close gently until just pressing together. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side. Remove krumkake from the iron and quickly roll up around the handle of a wooden spoon to form a cone. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Cool krumkake completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
- Other flavorings can be added in addition to or instead of vanilla.
- You may need to experiment with the amount of batter and baking time depending on the iron. You can also use an electric krumkake or pizzelle iron.

I double the recipe and add 1tsp. ground cardamon, no butter flavor added. We love it. Making again today. 3rd week in a row.
I used 1 t. of vanilla instead of 1/2 t. Melted the butter. Now it tastes like the family recipe.
I added 1/2 tsp baking powder because I saw it on another recipe but I don’t think it was needed. I didn’t have butter extract and I used 1% canned milk. This was my first attempt making these and I think they turned out well. I’m sure I will make them again with the baking power next time.
When I used my electric iron they all turned soggy., I did them exactly as the recipe says
I added about 2 tsp cardamom, yum!!!
Good recipe. We opted for cardamom instead of butter extract. I added an extra 2Tbsp flour, so they stayed together better during baking. This might be my measuring, or maybe the weather. We baked them for 52 seconds in my 2- krumkake electric cooker.
I made this recipe exactly as printed. It was my first time ever making Krumkake. The flavor was excellent. I did not use Almond extract or Cardamon. In all of my Norwegian cooking I have found very few recipes that call for either. Cardamon is a bit more prevalent in Finnish cooking. I didn’t have the cone firm so I rolled the cookie around a sharpie! Taste the same either way! Time to make another batch!!! Yummy!
Wow. These were DELICIOUS! My hubby and the kids devoured them. I do not have a Krumkake iron so I used my pizelle iron. I think they would be thinner if I had a Krumkake iron. But in the end it worked well. Mt pizelle iron is electric and it to 1 min 10 sec to bake them.
memories of me and my Norwegian grandma making g these in her kitchen when I was very small and now I have inherited her iron .
Wow, just wow. I loved it so much that I ate half the amount of servings 🙂
Terrific recipe! I added 1/2 tsp of cardamom spice.
I was thrilled to find this online, as it as close to my own Gram’s as I could hope for. Ditto on the adding almond extract and cardamom – made it exactly right. No complaints about texture at all — just right! We have an ancient, well-seasoned cast-iron krumkaker iron, which no doubt contributed to the success. : )
not sure I like this recipe exactly as much as the one with the whipping cream, but it’ll do in a pinch!
I didn’t make any changes to the recipe. The krumkaker came out too sweet and chewy.
I needed more milk and got two dozen big ones out of this…but they turned out very nice (if not evenly brown). I did not use the butter extract.
Great cookie! Rolled nicely into cones. I dipped the tops in melted chocolate and then filled with stabilized, sweetened whipped cream and mini chocolate chips.
Excellent recipe , as suggested adding cardomn is traditional as is using almond instead of vanillia. All norwegian cookie recipes are based on butter sugar almond and eggs.
Great easy to use recipe. Added a little Cardamom for an ethnic taste. Liked that this recipe used milk rather than cream and you couldn’t taste a difference.
This is an awesome recipe and delivered a very flavorful cookie. We added 3/4 tsp of Cardamom for a little more traditional flavor. We used a pizzelle maker, and they did not roll well but they tasted great!
I left out the butter extract and they were almost as good as my grandma’s. They are great!
