Hi,I have for auction a Jotul Krumkake Maker. A Norwegian Waffle Cookie, Made by Jotul, from Cast Iron,with a bakelite Handle. Beautiful traditional design of 5 hearts. Can be used fordecorative or functional purposes.When I found this waffle maker it was unusable it was so filthy. I have cleaned the Krumkake Maker using the lye method recommended by the Cast Iron Frying Pan manufacturer Griswold. I was extremely careful to protect the bakelite handles during this process. The Base ring was a true "problem child" to clean. I think both peices cleaned up quite nicely and should be ready to make yummy treats after a minor cleaning from shipping. This Iron will make biscuits approximately 7.5” Round. I found the following information for you, just in case you are new to the Krumkake Norwegian Waffle Cookie.From Wikipedia Krumkake or 'Krum kaka' (/'kru?mk??k?/; meaning bent or curved cake, plural krumkaker) is a Norwegian waffle cookie made of flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and cream. Krumkake is traditionally made during the Christmas season. A special decorative two-sided iron griddle, similar to a waffle iron, is used to bake the thin round cakes. Older irons are used over the stove, but modern electric irons offer the convenience of nonstick surfaces, automatic timing, and multiple cakes per batch. While hot, the 13–20 cm krumkake are rolled into small cones around a wooden or plastic cone form. Krumkake can be eaten plain or filled with whipped cream (often multekrem) or other fillings. These cookies are popular not only in Norway but also among Norwegian immigrant descendants in the American Midwest. Krumkaker are traditionally made in preparation for Christmas, along with other Norwegian sweets including Sandbakelse and Rosettes. They offer a sweet dessert after the traditional Christmas Eve dinner of ribs or pinnekjøtt. In Germany, the cookies are commonly filled with sweet stuffings. They are also used as a type of ice cream cone. A Krumkake is a traditional Norwegian biscuit. I found the following recipe on the Internet. I will send a copy with the purchased Waffle Iron. I have not tried the recipe to know if it will be yummy. Krumkake Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature 1/2 cup white sugar 3 eggs 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. freshly ground cardamom 6 Tbsp. water Preparation: Cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and ground cardamom. Stir in flour, mixing well. Add water until batter is the consistency of a thick cream sauce. Lightly grease the two sides of a krumkake iron with melted butter Heat iron over medium to medium-high burner just until a drop of water sizzles on the surface; to prevent damage to the iron and to keep the cookies from scorching, do notheat over the highest setting. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron. Close iron, squeezing handles together lightly to spread the batter (but not so tightly that the batter leaks down the sides of the iron. Bake for 30 seconds, flip iron over, and bake an additional 30 seconds. Flip iron back to initial position, open, and immediately roll cookie around a krumkake cone or the handle of a wood spoon. Slip off cone and allow to cool on rack.Store in tightly sealed container in order to retain crispness. Krumkake are equally delicious when served alone or when filled with whipped cream and/or fruit.Shipping within the US only.
