Krumkaka

My mom is the pro at making them.

Krumkaka (crumb cake)
1 c. melted butter
1 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 c. flour

Mix ingredients, put 1 dab butter in the middle of iron before first each
cake. Plop one spoonful of batter in and press close, cook 15-18 seconds
(varies slightly per press, every second counts) Roll on a cone to remove.
Will harden quickly.

Filling:
for chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch:
1 pkg. (4 oz.) instant pudding
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1 c. cold milk
8 oz. cool whip

Combine pudding mix, sugar, and milk in a bowl. Beat slowly at low speed
until blended, wait 1 minute and then fold in cool whip.


for strawberry:
2 c. whipping cream
3 T. powdered sugar
1 c. strawberry preserves

In bowl whip cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar, beat until stiff peaks
form, then fold in fruit preserves.

p.s. Dee's hand "serving" the mushrooms looks suspiciously like she's doing some "quality control".

I'm just thinking they may not have wanted a "mature" pregnant woman as a kitchen helper...if they had known!
