Emma'S Krumkaker
Delicate and crispy Emma's Krumkaker offer a buttery, vanilla-infused flavor with a hint of potato and flour, perfect for elegant desserts or coffee treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whip eggs and sugar together until well combined.
- Add melted and cooled butter to the egg and sugar mixture.
- Mix in water, potato flour, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Bake the batter in a krumkake iron until golden and crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the egg whites and yolks, whip the whites until stiff peaks form, and fold them in at the end. You can substitute the potato flour with cornstarch if needed, but the texture may differ slightly. Ensure your krumkake iron is well-preheated to achieve that perfect crispiness. It's also helpful to brush the iron with a little butter before each batch to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Krumkaker is traditionally served rolled and filled with whipped cream or sweetened mascarpone. They pair beautifully with Finnish Coffee Bread for a delightful dessert spread. You can also dust them with powdered sugar or serve alongside fresh berries for a refreshing contrast. For a unique twist, try them with chocolate mousse or a scoop of ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover krumkaker in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them crisp, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other. If you want to reheat them, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warm and crisp again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make krumkaker ahead of time?
Yes, you can make krumkaker ahead of time! Just store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. If they start to soften, you can re-crisp them in the oven before serving. They are perfect for holiday gatherings or as an accompaniment to coffee.
What can I use instead of potato flour?
If you don’t have potato flour, you can substitute it with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, but the krumkaker will still be delicious. Experimenting with different flours can yield interesting results!
How do I know when the krumkaker is done cooking?
The krumkaker is done when it is golden brown and crisp. It typically takes 30-60 seconds per side in a preheated krumkake iron. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times may vary depending on your specific iron and heat settings.
