NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CLOUDBERRIES
My DBIL was born in Norway and loves his heritage foods. This is one of the recipes that my sister makes at Christmas time. It is my favorite Norwegian dish that she makes. These cookies are absolutely wonderful. Some people simply roll the cookies in a tube instead of making a cone. But my sister always makes them a cone.

- Once all the Cookies are Baked and Cooled, Make the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Tips:
- Use a thin batter. A thick batter will make thick, dense krumkakes that are difficult to roll. If your batter is too thick, add a little more milk or cream.
- Heat your krumkake iron properly. The iron should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop a drop of batter onto it, but not so hot that the batter burns.
- Cook the krumkakes until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy and have a delicate flavor.
- Roll the krumkakes immediately after they are cooked. If you wait too long, they will become brittle and difficult to roll.
- Be patient. Making krumkakes takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few attempts don't turn out perfectly.
Conclusion:
Krumkakes are a delicious and festive Norwegian cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for Christmas, birthdays, or any other special occasion. With a little practice, you can make perfect krumkakes that will impress your family and friends.
