For the best flavor, use freshly grated spices. If you don't have a krumkake cone, you can gently shape the cookies into bowls or flat discs. Store cooled krumkake in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Allow it to come to room temperature before using. Adjust the amount of orange zest to your preference for a more or less pronounced citrus flavor.

Jun 18, 2025I struggled a bit with shaping them while they were hot, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. Worth the effort!

Jun 1, 2025I didn't have half-and-half, so I used whole milk and a tablespoon of melted butter. They still turned out great!

May 23, 2025Be careful not to overfill the iron, or the batter will spill out. Less is more!
