Krumkake Recipe

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla (I use 1 tsp of vanilla sugar)
1 tsp cardamom
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
1-1/2 cups flour

Beat eggs until very light and fluffy. Add sugar. Slowly beat in melted butter. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cardamom and vanilla sugar. (If using liquid vanilla, add it to the batter separately.) Alternatingly, stir a portion of the cream and flour mixture into the batter. Drop a dollop of batter onto the krumkake iron. Bake until golden brown. Roll around a wood cone to form cone cookie. Fill with berries or fruit preserves. Top with whipped cream.
