Krumkake

One of my favorite things about going to my Grandma's house for Christmas when I was young was getting to eat all the good sweets, especially the Krumkakes! These are somewhere between a sugar cone and waffle cone, but so much better.

A year or so ago, I asked for a Krumkake iron for Christmas and mom picked one up for me. This year I made a double batch of the Norwegian recipe on the link above. They turned out really nice and I took some to B's family Christmas to share.

By no means are these little beauties low fat, but they sure are good and they are so pretty!
