Sending Holiday Greetings Along With a Special Cookie Recipe

<img src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dcr-apis/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/krumkake.jpeg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/> We’re all too busy to think about anything unrelated to the holidays right now, so that’s why I share a family recipe (instead of a consumer tip or insight) in the December issue of the Diamond Certified Consumer Newsletter. I’ve posted recipes for Swedish glögg, <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/december-musings-family-recipe/" target="_self">Swedish meatballs</a>, lingonberries, <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/december-2020-consumer-newsletter-a-swedish-bread-for-the-holidays/" target="_self">limpa bread</a> and Green Goddess salad dressing. I wrote about <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/christmas-tradition-hidden-almond/" target="_self">a special rice pudding dessert where an almond is hidden</a>—whoever finds it gets a prize. This year, I’m sharing a Norwegian cookie recipe that my husband makes on a decorative iron griddle. His Norwegian great-grandmother, Nana Wroolie, gave him both the recipe and a vintage griddle. The cookie is called krumkake, which means “curved cone” in Norwegian. In earlier days, krumkaker were made over the stove, but now many griddle pans are electric. After the batter is cooked, they’re rolled into a cone shape while still warm. The delicate cookies can be eaten plain or with whipped cream filling.   Krumkaker are still popular in Norway and also in New England and the Midwest where many immigrants settled. They’re traditionally served at Christmas. They taste similar to the Italian pizzelle and cannoli. <h3>Krumkake</h3> <ins>Ingredients</ins> 4 eggs 1 cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 tsp. cardamom   <ins>Directions</ins> Mix everything together. If the batter seems too thin, add more flour. Use 1 tablespoon of batter on the krumkake iron and let it spread. Cook one side, then turn the iron over to cook the other side. Remove the cookie while it’s still hot and roll it up like a cigar.
