Jamie's great-grandmother, Nana, was born and raised in Wisconsin but her parents had emigrated from Norway shortly before she was born. Krumkakes are traditional Norwegian cookies that Jamie's family makes together for Christmas, which they celebrate on the 24th according to Norwegian custom.
Ingredients:
2 eggs lightly beaten
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions:
In one medium sized bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Next, add butter (make sure it's at room temperature) and vanilla. Finally, mix in the flour. Heat up the Krumkake iron and mix the batter. Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of each print on the iron, close the lid and press down firmly for 5-10 seconds. Lift the lid and remove the cookie (which is very hot) using a knife. Slide the cookie onto wax paper and roll it around the white cone using your fingers. Hold the cookie around the cone as it cools so that it can hold its cone shape. Krumkakes are delicious plain, but you can spice them up by filling them with chocolate and topping them with whipped cream or berries.
Tune of the moment: Love Shack by the B-52's
What were we snacking on? Vietnamese beef and rice, of course.
