ORANGE CARDAMOM KRUMKAKE
I decided to try a new recipe with a little more flavor than the traditional one I've been using. This one was definitely a hit. The krumkake turned out nicely crisp with a surprising orange spice flavor. My krumkake iron is electric and took a little over a minute to cook each one, but traditional irons will vary according to how hot it is.

Steps:
- 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.

- 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.

HULDA'S KRUMKAKE
This is DH's great-grandmother's recipe who came from Sweden. Buy fresh cardamon, remove husk, put seeds into plastic bag, and use a hammer to smash on concrete floor-MIL's method. DH and I use an electric krumkake iron for 25 to 30 seconds depending upon how dark you prefer. This makes about 38 krumkakes, the original made 100. After you cool them on paper toweling, store them in a cool dry location, and do not seal the container too tightly. DH and I use a tiny ladle to pour the batter into krumkake iron-the ladle size is a tad bigger than 1/8 cup.

- I have never done this but have wondered if you could use same recipe except swap out the brandy and cardamon for limoncello? Or make a variation of a cannoli and stuff with cannoli filling instead?

SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS CRISPY KRUMKAKE
Both the Norwegians and Swedes make krumkake, the thin, crisp cookie that is baked in a special krumkake iron. The iron in heated on top of the range on a burner and looks something like a waffle iron without deep grids. Krumkake irons usually have a fancy swirled design that imprints on the cookie. It takes special skill to eat these fragile cookies as well as patience to make them! But it isn't Christmas without them in a Scandinavian household.

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature to ensure a smooth and even batter.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more butter.
- Roll out the dough thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. This will help the cookies cook evenly.
- Use a krumkake iron that is well-seasoned and heated to the proper temperature. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Cook the cookies for only a few seconds per side, or until they are golden brown. Overcooking will make them dry and brittle.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
Conclusion:
Krumkake is a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its delicate flavor and crispy texture, it is the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, krumkake is sure to be a hit. So, next time you are looking for a special treat, give krumkake a try. You won't be disappointed!
