Krumkake

Heidi Swartz' Krumkake Wedding CakeThis traditional Scandinavian dessert cookie has a very delicate taste. Freshly out of the iron, it is hot and soft, and easy to roll into a cone. It quickly cools, and hardens into a crisp membrane that is filled with fruit, ice cream, chocolate and other sweets.

The krumkake iron produces wafers thin enough for pressing and baking "ostie" (hosts, or edible wafer paper rounds), however too thin for baking pizzelles (they would crumble too easily).

The wedding cake shown here was made with traditional and chocolate krumkakes, by Heidi Swartz.

Krumkaker (Crumb Cakes)

Eggs
Sugar
Butter or margarine
Flour

Weigh eggs, with shell on. (One egg makes nine Krumkaker.)

To the weight of each egg, add the same weight each of sugar, butter and flour.

Heat Krumkake iron, un-greased, until a drop of water sputters when sprinkled on its surface.

Butter iron slightly for the first two cakes.

Place a generous tablespoon of batter in the middle of the iron and close. Bake over medium heat until golden.

Remove cake with a fork and immediately roll up into a cone or cylinder shape over handle of wooden spoon, or with a shaping cone, or cannoli form. Or shape in a small bowl and serve as dessert filled with whipped cream and fruit of your choice.

Wafer Paper
oplatki, cialda, ostia, hostie, ouwel, obleas, hostia, pain azyme, rice paper, oblaten, wafer paper

In general, the terms "Wafer Paper" and "Rice Paper" are used interchangeably for a number of substances that are paper thin. While decorative rice paper is made from the grass fiber of the rice plant, or from the bast fiber of the kozo plant, edible rice paper is made from rice grain and wafer paper from wheat flour or from potato starch.

Finely ground wheat flour, water, and vegetable oil seem to be the traditional ingredients for these thin wafers. Most wafer paper sheets available today use potato starch instead of wheat flour.

Mix flour, water and oil to make into a dough, then break off small balls to place in the heated and greased krumkake iron.


Historicfood.com quotes Archimagirus Anglo-Gallicus; Or, Excellent & Approved Receipts and Experiments in Cookery (London: 1658), on the following recipe to make wafers:
Take Rose-water or other water, the whites of two eggs and beat them and your water, then put in flour, and make them thick as you would do butter for fritters, then season them with salt, and put in so much sugar as will make them sweet, and so cast them upon your irons being hot, and roll them up upon a little pin of wood; if they cleave to your irons, put in more sugar to your butter, for that will make them turn.
