sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option that binds ingredients.

Preheat the krumkake iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and cardamom.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and melted butter until smooth.

Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated.

Lightly grease the krumkake iron with butter or oil.

Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the iron, close it, and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Carefully remove the krumkake and shape it around a cone or a rolling pin.

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.

Allow the krumkaker to cool completely before serving.
