Almond Krumkakes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 3 large egg whites unbeaten
- 2 tablespoons almonds ground
- 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cream together butter and powdered sugar; beat well.
- Add by degrees egg whites, almonds, flour and vanilla.
- This version can also be used to make Chinese fortune cookies.
- COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
- You will need a krumkake iron, which fits over a 7-inch burner surface (gas or electric).
- Always use moderate heat.
- For each baking period, the iron should be lightly rubbed at the beginning with unsalted butter, but after this initial greasing, nothing more is required.
- The batter needs a preliminary testing, as it is quite variable, depending on the condition of the flour, so do NOT add at once all the flour called for in the recipe.
- Test the batter for consistency by baking 1 teaspoonful first.
- The iron is geared to use 1 tablespoon of batter for each wafer, and it should spread easily over the whole surface but should not run over when pressed down.
- If the batter is too thin, add more flour.
- Should any batter drip over, lift the iron off its frame and cut off the excess batter with a knife run along the edge of the iron.
- Cook each wafer about 2 minutes on each side or until barely colored.
- As soon as you remove it from the iron, roll it on a wooden spoon handle or cone form, and, when cool, fill it.
