Norwegian Rolled Cookies

By norsegal8

Called strull in Norwegian, these cookies are made in a kroumkake iron, and then rolled into a very thin, tight roll by wrapping them around the handle of a wooden spoon.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sour cream or heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 10 tablespoons flour

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the cream, water and sugar until the batter is light and fluffy and looks like softly whipped cream. Measure the flour into a fine sieve and dust it over the top of the cream mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour.

Preheat the krumkake iron over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles when dropped on top. Lightly brush the inside top and bottom of the iron with shortening, oil or melted butter. Spoon a heaping teaspoonful of the batter into the preheated iron.

Bake until pale golden, about 1 minute on each side. Remove the cookie from the iron and while still warm and flexible, roll it around the handle of a wooden spoon, then slide it off. The rolled cookies should be 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining batter. The cookies become firm very quickly as they cool.
