Krumkake - not Krumkie

One fun culinary experience I enjoyed while grandma and aunt Niki came to visit involved making Krumkakes or as Kaitlyn calls them - "i keam cone." We made three versions of Krumkakes - mildly savory with basil and oregano (on video), spicy tomato krumkake and a sweet Krumkake.


In an effort to make this blog a little more exciting, I recorded the process of baking and molding the Krumkake. Please note that I called it a krumkie, but it's actually a KrumKake!





Here is a photo of the batter. It is thin and has a similar consistency to crepes.


Basil & Parsley Krumkakes
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted in water
  • <>
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • fresh parsley
  • dried basil

Spicy Tomato Krumkakes
I apologize, but I don't have an exact recipe as we were having fun experimenting. In general, we omitted all of the vanilla and all but one tablespoon of sugar. We added 1/3 cup of spicy tortilla soup to the water and one teaspoon kosher salt to the flour.

Sweet Krumkakes
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 egg
Kaitlyn said the sweet Krumkakes were 'tasty!'
