Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Special equipment needed:
- Krumkake iron
- Piping bag or plastic sandwich bag
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
4. Preheat the krumkake iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the center of the iron.
6. Close the iron and cook for about 30 seconds or until the krumkake is lightly browned and crisp.
7. Quickly remove the krumkake from the iron using a spatula and immediately roll it into a cone shape around a cone-shaped object such as a wooden dowel or a cone-shaped mold.
8. Hold the cone shape for a few seconds until it sets, then remove the cone-shaped object and place the krumkake on a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to reheat the iron between each krumkake.
10. Once all the krumkake are cooled, fill a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag with Nutella and snip off the end.
11. Pipe the Nutella into the cooled krumkake cones, filling them about 2/3 full.
12. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
