Passing the tradition

My husband’s grandmother was Norwegian.
When we were first married she and I made these traditional Norwegian cookies together.

I can still see this little 80 year old woman who lived alone in the same house she was born in, whipping cream by hand for the recipe for these cookies. Her little body moving a mile a minute. She was so happy and cherry.
I love traditions and hope that this one will continue.
SO I bought one of my new daughters a new “electric” KrumKake iron and hopefully we will continue the tradition.

Some traditions are so special and baking is close to the top of the list. It's nice to be able to hand over the reins.

I am not Norwegian, but my best friend is and I used to make these with her when I was young! They are sooooo good, I haven't thought about them in ages!! Have fun with your new pan, that should make it faster and easier!
