Reflections on the Making of the Krum Kakke

The iron and the finished product. YUMMO!


The making of the Scandanavian krum kakke is a yearly tradition in our family, started by...hmmm...I'm not sure who. But my Mom did it, and her Mom did it, and probably her Mom did it, too. One of them must have decided that these particular cookies were for Holidays only. They are not the easiest cookies to make as they require a special iron ,made of cast iron , and, preferably, an antique. The new irons, we have found, just do not work the same. These cookies can only be made one at a time, and they must be rolled while hot. Maybe that is why they are only made for Christmas. My kids say that it isn't really Christmas without these delicious cookies.
