rice flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Almond flour adds healthy fats while cornstarch is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness and moisture.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg replacer

Flaxseed meal is a vegan option that binds ingredients.

Start with 2 large eggs in a bowl.

Add 1 cup of sugar to the eggs and mix to hydrate.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and mix until combined.

Add flour until the batter is a loose pancake consistency.

Melt some butter to add to the batter.

For flavorings, add vanilla, cocoa, ground anise, cardamom, microplaned orange, and ginger as desired.

Heat the special Krumkake iron on the stove.

Grease the iron with vegetable oil or pan spray.

Pour a small amount of batter into the heated iron and close it to cook.

Cook until golden brown, then remove and shape as desired.
