Never thought of that – sounds like a good idea!

I go to the lumber yard and have a round dowel cut into six and twelve inch lengths for rolling, then you can roll them like cigars.

I live in Northwestern British Columbia (Pacific Coast Rainforest!) and our solution to the dampness problem is dehumidifiers.
I use cardamom in my krumkake, while others in my area don’t. The biggest difference I can see is that most of us use milk or cream instead of water…..
I love seeing the different variations of such a delicious treat! We make it only at Christmastime because it is such a labour of love….

I have never made my krumkake recipe with cardamom, and none of my friends or relatives have either. Obviously some people do, but I never have. A cone came with my krumkake iron, but I just use a table knife. That is the way my grandma made them, and that is what I do! Works great…

yes the recipe should contain cardamom. A cone shaped utensil comes with the grill or you can purchase a teflon type utensil in a scandinavian import store. The authenic shape is a cone. Store in tin boxes to retain the crispness.

Well, I moved from SE Minnesota to central Texas, and it is very difficult for me to make krumkake here. I have to find a day when it is relatively cold and not humid – that is not easy to find in Texas. My only advice is make the krumkakes on a day with low temperatures AND low humidity. Good luck to you!

I have moved from the north western part of Minnesota to the south eastern part of the state. My krumkake recipe is a wonderful recipe handed down through the generations. SE MN has more humidity and so my krumkake does not crisp up, but gets soft and soggy. Any ideas on how I can change my recipe to avoid that? Some have told me to use less eggs, others said less milk. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your comment. The ones I have seen with cardamom in them were much smaller than the ones I make. I think it would be very difficult to roll mine into little cigars. The ones I have tasted were very good! Grandma Jeanne
