Instructions
-
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
-
Whisk together flour, cardamom, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients until just combined.
-
Mix in 6 tablespoons of water, adding more one tablespoon at a time if needed, until the batter resembles a thick cream sauce.
-
Lightly grease a krumkake iron and heat it over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
-
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the iron's center, close the iron, and gently squeeze handles to spread the batter.
-
Bake for 30 seconds, flip the iron, and bake for an additional 30 seconds.
-
Open the iron, immediately roll the hot cookie around a krumkake cone or spoon handle, then slide it off to cool on a rack.
-
Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
