Krumkake, another Norwegian Olsen-Isom tradition

Usually we get to some of the Christmas baking traditions late (sometimes REALLY late), but this year I think we have done pretty well. Last night we made Fattigmann and today we made Krumkake. I know for the Isom side of the family this will be a very boring post since everyone probably does this, but for those that aren't Isoms here are some of the pictures from today (taken with my cell phone camera since we still haven't found ours)...
First you make the dough, you can't smell it, but cardamom smells so divine!
The iron has to heat up and you spray, or brush, it once only.
Put 2 one in. size balls of dough in the middle of each circle in the iron...
Cook for about 30-45 seconds...
and wa-la, Krumkake. Carefully remove with a spatula and roll around a wood cone, and then...
...enjoy! (we will sprinkle some of these with powdered sugar first since some of us like them plain and some of us like them with that added sweetness!)

I will try and post Fattigmann pictures later (since they are on Garth's camera)!
And hopefully we can make lefse before Chad leaves again too! :-)

Oh, we haven't made these in years, but you've made me hungry!! We've been busy experimenting with ginger snap recipes and dang it, but I can't find one that is anything like the ginger snaps at Great Harvest.....the search continues!
