The rest of the family would hang out in a room nearby where they could smell the sweet treats as they waited to bite into the crispy cookies, which Grandma Hovis called krum kage. In the kitchen, the batter came together quickly."It's basically sugar and eggs, and then you take the unwhipped, whipped cream and you beat that well. You add flour, vanilla and a dash of salt," Hovis said."And once you have that all blended, you take about a tablespoon ...
Just like pancakes, the first couple of cookies are trial runs, best eaten as a snack by the bakers themselves. Be sure to grease the iron between each cookie, and keep the batter thin enough that it spreads easily when poured, Hovis said. Hovis' grandma died when she was 13, but the krumkake tradition didn't end then. Today, Hovis makes the cookies for her friends and family with the same iron her grandma used, which dates back to at least 1913."When I make it today, it's just like you're transported back to that memory, and even though she's no longer with me, her recipe keeps her alive," Hovis said.
