Traditional Nordic
CHRISTMAS RECIPES
This is the Hagen family's traditional
recipe for krumkaker—these crispy and
light wafers are a Christmas favourite,
typically made in a cylinder or a cone
shape. For an extra rich treat, fill them
with whipped cream. If you do not have a
krumkaker iron, a pizzelle or other wafer
iron can also be used.
