Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cream butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy, ~3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in flour, cardamom, and vanilla until the batter is smooth with no lumps.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a krumkake iron over medium heat for 2 minutes until it sizzles when water flicks on it.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon 1 tbsp batter onto the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook 30 seconds per side.

  6. Step 6

    Remove the cookie with a thin spatula and immediately roll it around a krumkake cone while hot.

  7. Step 7

    Slide the cone out and set the cookie on a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
