Family traditions

Family Traditions are needed.

This recipe for a delicacy is now passed on to my sons as my oldest son Travis makes Krumkaka for the holidays now too. We need to do more of these things to keep in touch with our roots. I have another blog about food and you like to see it at www.loveforbookwriting.com


KRUMKAKA ; a delicious Thanksgiving and Christmas treat a LARSON tradition

Every Christmas season I make 20 – 30 dozen of the best luxurious Christmas treats. These morsels of melt in your mouth treats are just fantastic. The recipe has been in the family since my Norway and Swedish family members came to America. I am the last in the Larson family in my generation and my Fathers generation have all passed on. I have five sons and now one of them has started making these just fantastic treats as a family tradition.

It seems so sad that many of these traditions fall by the wayside and are lost. It was such a thrill to see my son take a hold of this and continue it for the next generation. I continue to make these morsels of pure joy as I get requests now for KrumKaka every year from friends and friends of friends.

I remember my Grandmother cornering me to help making these treats when I was a small boy. She bribed me with letting me eat a couple while making them to encourage me to pay attention and work. Grandma Larson’s health was failing so any help I could give was appreciated. In those days these treats were special gifts to the family for Christmas time from Grandma as we didn’t have many gifts.

My five boys just love that I make Krumkaka for their families and friends. The recipe is very simple but the technique is precise so it will probable take a batch or two to master the techniques. The taste will still be awesome however the shape will be awful. Keep practicing as the recipients will be astonished.

You need a KrumKaka iron, KrumKaka rollers, spoons to move dough to iron, spatula to remove baked Krumkaka to roller board. All of the items available at kitchen stores in a mall near you.



Roll and let cool on rollers until next batch is ready and remove from roller and roll the next one. You will have to be timing this process well as the KrumKaka iron will burn the dough if left in to long.

Feel to double and triple the batch when ready for big time production.
