Krumkake, Pizzelle, Sandbakkelse and Rosettes! Learn to create the rolled Norwegian cookie, Krumkakes made with cream, butter and cinnamon or sometimes flavored with vanilla. For generations, Minnesotans have purchased their irons to bake Krumkakes from local manufacturer Nordic Ware in St Louis Park. Italian Pizzelles are also baked on the top of the stove using an iron, but are a flat, anise-flavored cookie or they also may be flavored with vanilla. The chewy, almond Swedish Sandbakkelse are delicate golden brown in color and are baked in tiny tins to resemble tarts. Finally, we will master deep fried Rosettes – the exceedingly fragile, paper thin Scandinavian delicacies dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Expect great recipes plus the many tips and techniques that will make your baking a success! Bring containers to take your creations home safely. $14 supply fee payable to instructor at class.
