Tusen takk Pål for this wonderful video! Bestafar is adorable! So funny he’s trying to get around Bestamor to steal a cookie as they come out of the oven 😊 Please continue to make more videos.
hehe tusen takk! And yes, Bestefar is an adorable guy, always up for some home made cookies. I had a lot of fun filming this episode :D Thanks again for your comment.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I thought of my youth, and my Grandmother making all 3 of these treats. I have already made my Sandkaker for this Christmas using her molds that are over 100 years old. I am making Krumkaker next with a new Iron that my son bought me last year. I just wish I could get him interested in making these, besides eating them. lol. Thank you Pal for taking me with you on this journey. Merry Christmas!
Hi Shari! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and it could bring back some nice memories. Good that you are keeping the traditions alive :) I never had much interest in baking these cakes, but lately I've been feeling that the interest is growing, and next year I'll be baking my own cookies for sure. Merry Christmas!
I got my daughters electric krumkake irons as wedding gifts and gave each of them my grandma’s recipe. It starts with a pound of butter a dozen eggs and a pint of cream. Call your cardiologist in the morning. I still use grandma’s iron on the stove.
How lovely this was, and yes, such lovely memories of the women who showed their love for their families in this way.
Glad you liked it :)
Holy cow! So excited to have found this video!!! I was raised by my Grandma and haven’t ever had the courage to try making her cookies. Plus, Grandma never wrote down her actual recipes. Thanks so much for this!!!!! 💜
Hei April! Glad to hear you enjoyed the episode :D I hope you'll try out a couple of these recipes, they are all very tasty, and perfect for the Christmas season 😋🎅🤶
Mange takk Bestamor Karin!
Thanks to Karin for showing us how to make cookies, very nice.
Yes, it was so nice of her to open up her kitchen :)
Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know my Norwegian Grandfather and family until recently, so it’s great to see some Norwegian Christmas traditions ❤
You are welcome! Christmas in Norway is a time full of traditions 👍🌲
I looked for videos on krumkake to refresh my memory from when I was a child. I knew I was finding the most authentic when I found your video! 😀 Thank you so much for sharing!
You are welcome! Glad you enjoy the video!
Loved watching this I am full blooded norwegion but family is gone so am not able to get answers to hermitage but watching this brought back memories of futtiman like my mother used to make. 😊
Glad to hear this episode could bring back some nice memories :). Thanks for watching!
This brought back so many memories of my mother baking at Christmas. Takk!! (And of course she has the magic touch which no recipe can teach!)
Bare hyggelig! Tusen takk for din kommentar. She certainly got the magic touch :)
What a treat to get to meet such genuinely wonderful real folks! Tusen takk Karin!!!
Thanks for watching! And I'll let Karin know about your comment :)
That's how krumkake is done! Wonderful
Thanks :)
Would grandma Karin also be open to do a video on Norwegian bread baking? This video is GREAT. Had much fun watching it, and reveling at Grandma Karin's skill and love for her craft.
Hei Shane, glad you enjoyed the video! I'd have to ask her, she is a busy lady :) If not I might make a bread baking video myself (I bake a lot). It'll be after the summer though, I'm so busy with tour guiding this summer. Take care!
Jeg tar av meg hatten Pål. Dette her var fantastisk bra laget 👏🏻Spennende å se hvor ting forandrer seg med åra. Min generasjon har ikke noen av disse julekakene til jul.
Takk for det! Ja tidene forandrer seg, det er helt klart. Nå spiser vi jo kaker og godteri (nesten) hver dag året rundt, så julekakene blir ikke samme høydepunktet lenger som det var en gang.
Tusen tak Pal!
Vær så god!
I remember my grandmother (full swedish) always waiting till Christmas eve to bring out the traditional cookies. Now I know why. I still make the sandbakkels using my grandmothers recipe. my wife just told me that my mother still has the krumkake iron that my grandmother used. I am going to teach my son to make krumkake. They are the best. Thanks for the video. Brought back a lot of memories from childhood.
Hei hei! Nice to hear you are keep the traditions alive. I think it was a good thing to wait with the cookies until Christmas eve, surely made it more special.
Good luck on the krumkaker, they are some of my favorites :D Thanks for checking out the video, Pål
After midnight Lutheran service!
Que lindo ver este tipo de videos y me encanta cuando hablan en noruego 😍🙌
Muchas gracias Dani :) me alegro que te ha gustado el video
I needed this. I miss my Mormor.
I miss my mormor as well
Really awesome to be invited into Karin's home and shown how she bakes traditional Christmas treats. Thanks to you and Karin both for the effort in sharing her traditions and memories. Warm and Fuzzy ❤❤
Hei James, thanks for your nice comment! We really enjoyed making this episode so nice with the good feedback :D
My dad always had to test the Fattigmans . My mother and I knew we were right on when it past his test.
hehe cool! Nice childhood memory :)
We used to have a huge Norwegian Christmas party. I would make 21 kinds of cookies and cakes. I’d make well over 1,000 cookies.
Wow! Sounds like a solid baking session!
Wow!! What kinds of cookies and cakes would you make?
@@jillhough3088 I make krumkake, sand Bakker’s dromar, sugar cookies, ginger pigs, raspberry ribbons, nut balls, cherry nut balls, snowmen, candy canes, rosettes, fattigman, lingonberry cake, cardamom cake and an orange rum wreath cake that is to die for. I used to make more kinds but I’m 72 now and I get tired standing so long. I used to make a lot more, but my kids are grown. We no longer have the big party. I used to send boxes of cookies to my daughters on the West Coast,but I didn’t this year. We had a fire in July and major plumbing problems and I just couldn’t pop for Fed Ex. I’m regretting it now but it’s too late. Anyway, they have all the equipment. They should start making their own and teaching their kids. I hope you have the happiest of Christmases.
Lovely video. Sweet and delicious. Loved the conversations. wonderful.
Thank you so much for this video, God bless you
Thanks for watching!
I always enjoy your videos. This one was not only full of wonderful things, but Karin was incredibly charming and generous. Thanks so much to both of you!
Thanks a lot for your kind comment Kaaren!
Really delicious, thank you very much for posting. Kind greetings from France 💐
You are welcome Maria! Thanks for watching the episode
@@norwaywithpal I watch EVERY episode, I like norway so much, like also the language ! Ha de bra 💐
Hei, Pål! Hei, Bestemor! Tusen takk for julekakene 🤤 🎄I really enjoyed hearing you speak Norwegian. I hope you will consider making more videos in your native language 😉
Hei hei! Jeg håper jeg kan lage noen flere videoer med Karin, vi får se :) Og kanskje også noen flere språkvideoer!
I wanna live with them :D so cozy omg
:D
I want a krumkake roller with a clip. Every year I burn my fingers rolling krumkake.
I think I should start producing them :) they are hard to find!
awesome!
My norwegian grandmother, (born 1896 and lived to be 101!) used to bake krumkaken, but she made a whipped cream to put in them. We would have them on xmas eve, sooo good. Miss that! My (non norwegian mother) always made sunbuckles and Xmas bread, as well as norwegian waffles for xmas and they were amazing. I miss that. Unfortunately I dont have that baking talent, despite being half Scandanavian. Thanks for the memories. Alot of work for sure to do all that baking.
Sounds like good memories! Whipped cream in the krumkake is also a thing here. So Yummy!
Helt fantastisk! I could practically smell the baking. Tusen takk til deg og Karin!
Takk for det Glenn! Det var en artig video å lage, og det beste kom til slutt da jeg kunne spise så mange julekaker jeg ville ;)
@@norwaywithpal Jeg skal snart steke flere krumkaker, denne gangen med kardemomme. Blir mye å spise her og!
@@glenneriksen5899 Det høres bra ut! Har du prøvd å lage kokosmakroner noen gang? Det er ikke en av de 7 slag, men det er en av mine favoritter
@@norwaywithpal Nei, jeg har ikke. Har du en oppskrift?
@@glenneriksen5899 Denne er bra. Veldig enkel å lage:
www.matprat.no/oppskrifter/tradisjon/kokosmakroner/
That was wonderful! One of my favorite ones to date :)
Tusen takk Sarah!
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Oh my - this really touched me. My Nana always did Christmas cookies with us every year. Sandkaker and Krumkaka was my favorite. She passed in 2012 and this made me happy and sad at the same time!!! We still use her fluted tins that were her mothers. We made all these cookies!! Thank you for sharing!!
You welcome, thanks for watching! I'm glad you have such good childhood memories of your Nana and Christmas cookies
Now we are hungry. What a fun thing to do. Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas and God Yul
well, get out your aprons and start baking Tom ;) Glad you liked the episode. God Jul
Thanks so much for this timely recording. Thanks also to Karin and her husband for inviting us into her home to see wonderful Norwegian Christmas customs with cookie baking. Wishing Karin and her husband and you Pål a very Merry Christmas!
Hi Leona, glad to hear you liked the video. I learned a lot about baking that day! Merry Christmas to you as well
Pål, thanks for sharing! We have enjoyed all of your videos and this is one of our favorites. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Scott, that is nice to hear. I think this one has been one of my favorites to make. Merry Christmas, God Jul !
Thanks for showing us how to make these traditional holiday cookies. Merry Christmas!
You welcome Robert. I hope you'll have a nice month of December :) God Jul!
Your videos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and a much better NEw Year for all of us
Thank you, that is nice to hear :) God Jul and yes let's hope for a much better New Year
Great video, thank you Karin & Pal for sharing your Christmas baking. God jul & godt nytt ar!
Thanks Vicki! God Jul og Godt Nytt År to you and your family
I love making krumkake for Christmas time! I’ve been wanting to try new baking recipes recently. This is great.
Cool! Krumkake is my favorite :D
Loved seeing the inside of Grandma's house, but I got hungry. Another excellent video! Merry, Merry Christmas Pal to you and your loved ones.
Thank you John! I can't think of a more cozy home than hers. Merry Christmas, God Jul to you and Mariane.
Merry Christmas Pål. Thanks for sharing a bit of your tradition. Those cookies look scrumptious.
You welcome Rachel! Something you could try baking maybe? ;) God Jul
Sweet are the cookies, and you three! I wish I was there!
Thank you :) God Jul!
Merry Christmas Pål🎄☃️
Merry Christmas, God Jul!
Great video, and loved Karin. Very interesting history and demonstration of Norwegian Christmas cookies. Now please do the other four. :)
Thanks for your comment Eileen! Did not have timet to film the other 4 this year, but aiming for next year :) God jul
My first husband was part Norwegian! His parents made these cookies! OMG! I SWEAR I WOULD GAIN AT LEAST 10 LBS.
Haha I bet… they are delicious, but luckily we only eat them once a year :)
Thank you SO much for this lovely video! Thank you for sharing these beautiful traditions! Please keep making videos! Your posts and videos are so good and thoughtful. 😊🌲 Also thank you to Karin and her husband, they are so sweet and the Christmas decorations are beautiful. She has motivated me to try making some cakes, I will start with the Krumkake! 🥰
Hei Nan! Thanks for your very kind comment. I'm happy to hear you were inspired to make some krumkake. I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, God Jul 🥰
The best country in the world.With everything.Elves,cuisine,Nature,aurora...When l grow l want to live in there.Loves from Azerbaijan 🇸🇯❤️🇦🇿Jeg elsker Norge.
Tusen Takk for watching Murad! Glad to hear you love Norway 🇳🇴
@@norwaywithpal 😊
I am a little late to the party but maybe right on time for Christmas 2021! This was a delightful video. I make Sandkake (We have always called them Sandbakelse) and Krunkake. I look forward to the Christmas Cookie 2021 video!
Thank you Becky! Glad you enjoyed the video. I think it will stay relevant for many more Christmases to come. Btw. some here also call them sandbakkels, both names are used.
Love this video in such an authentic setting, haven't found anything so authentic about Norwegian Christmas cooking on youtube. It's a mood boost - and Oliver (the Norwegian Forest Cat?) is great! Tusen takk Pål
Thank you so much Forestcat181. And yes, Oliver is a forest cat :)
We call Fattigmann for Klejner in Denmark - I have read a little bit about the history of it and it seems to a fairly old cookie. Back in the day there were no oven so a lot of the cookies were made in fried fat. I am only guessing but fattigmann could maybe refer to the poor man's cookie later when the oven or stove was introduced, since poor people couldn't afford a stove and still used the fried fat method.
Interesting theory, and I think you are right about the name! Since it has alcohol I wondered for a while if it was called fattigmann because it would make you poor making it.. but your theory makes more sense :)
@@norwaywithpal But I think it is a cool nickname you got for the cookie in Norway! :D God jul!
God jul!@@thomascarlsen8097
Hello. I love Christmas cookies! Every year my wife and me bake some Christmas cookies in Alsace , France. I have never tasted norwegian cookies but this looks delicious. thank you
Hi again, yea they are all so delicious so make sure to try them out :)
THIS IS A MARVELOUS SHOW VIDEO. I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH
. BRINGS ME FOND MEMORIES OF MY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. PLEASE DO MORE WITH THIS SWEETHEART OF A GRANDMOTHER.
WHERE CAN YOU BUY THE KUMKAKA TOOL THAT YOU ROLL THE DOUGH TO FORM THE COOKIE?
Thanks for watching! Yes she is a real sweetheart and such an expert on Norwegian cooking! :)
I know it can be found online, try Amazon. Krumkakepinne
I have never seen a krumkake rolled with a clamp, like Karin uses. I would love to have one of those! Thank you for making this awesome video. I love krumkake and sandkake (we called them sandbakkels(?)) but my family didn’t ever make those, so I enjoyed seeing them. I would love to see how she makes the other 4 cookies too!
Yes those rollers are pretty smart. They are easy to find in Norway, but hard to find elsewhere.. :/ Sandbakkels is just another word for sandkake. I hope at some point to make a video with the other 4 cookies as well. Thanks for watching!
I've spent the past 55 years making Sandkakes here in America and have been taught to make them differently. look AMAZING.... is there any way I can get her recipe and give them a try. I love that they are much thicker and look delicious. Tell her if she shares the recipe I will take pictures for her of my families delight when they try them. Thanks Pål I hope to hear from you.
Hei Pam! Glad you found my episode and discovered a new way to make them. We all have our ways I guess, but this is how Karin was taught by her mother to make them. The recipe is in the description. But I'll paste it here as well:
Sandkaker
750 g/25,6 oz Wheat flour
1/2 kilo/17,6 oz Butter
250 g/8,8 oz Powdered sugar
1 egg
4-5 Drops of almond essence
Feel free to send some photos to pal@norwaywithpal.com
Thanks, and good luck with the baking!
Pål
My mom made all 3 of these but fattigman was not my favorite. It was somewhat bland tasting to me and i can bet she did not use cognac. But i make Krumkake (with the iron on the burner and the metal roller)and I make Sandbakkles and I made another one that uses a tin mold...dip it in batter and put it in hot oil and after a few seconds the cookie falls off the mold and finishes cooking then rolled in sugar. Its been a long time since i have made that. I also watched my mother make potato lefse but never made it myself until i grew older and now i make it every year. I had to investigate online how to make it. luckily i live in Minnesota (raised in North Dakota) which has a very strong Norwegian presence and culture here. BTW...my mom was German/Scottish/English. She cooked these delightful foods for my 90% Norwegian/10% Swedish father. I am thankful for that. :) Thanks Pal
Hei hei! Sounds like you have some wonderful memories of your mothers baking, and nice that you seem to carry on the traditions. Thanks for watching the episode :)
Pal, I enjoyed watching the video. Maybe next time Karin can make the Berlinerkranser. I have a recipe from my grandma, but I never actually had the opportunity to see her bake them.
Hei Laura, nice to hear you enjoyed the video. I think next year I will ask Karin to have me over for some more baking, and we can do the 4 other kinds. Feel free to share that recipe with me. Post it here or email me: pal@johansentravel.com
Tusen takk!
Pål, if you sold those krumkake rollers with the clip I would buy them!
Yea I know... they are hard to find unfortunately. Karin has had hers for years...
Really enjoyed this video. Love her kitchen as well. My name is Karin and my husband is Paul. God Jul 🎄
Hei there Karin, a very Norwegian name :) Glad you enjoyed the video. God jul to you and Paul
@@norwaywithpal yes my mother was Norwegian and Swedish.
I love cardamom in my krumkake
mmm :P
This was so lovely!! And I've caught up on the rest of your videos too!
I wish I didn't have so many dietary restrictions so I could try these out! Oh well!
We make a krumkaker of sorts too, for Christmas, but we call them pizelles. :)
Glad you liked the video! Dietary restrictions sucks, my girlfriend has gluten allergy so I know all about that, but also means I get to have certain cakes to myself :P
I looked up pizelles, they look good! Kind of similar to the dutch stroopwafel it seems.
Darn all those pesky food allergies! XD I suppose we shall live, though. And yes, more for you and the rest who can!
Ohhh, yeah, I've seen stroopwafels! Perhaps those are more similar. It seems lot of cultures have similar foods and festive desserts! :)
@@againstthetimes yea several of our traditional recipes does not originate from Norway, but mostly from Denmark/Sweden and other places in Europe. But we "stole" them and turned them into ours :P
Less of "stole" and more of... enhanced! Or "put a new spin on" XD
@@againstthetimes exactly!
I make these krumkake and sandbakkels too. Also rosettes. My krumkake recipe came from Norway and has no eggs, I'm wondering if that makes it Strull? I also have that same blessing plate!
hm yes I think egg should be a fairly important ingredient, to make the krumkaker a bit more easy to work with!
I love this video! I'm definitely going to check out your other ones. Also, are rosettes a Scandinavian Christmas treat? I was surprised to not see them shown. Maybe they're not considered a cookie?
Hei kj! Thanks for your comment. Yep, rosettes are a cookie often baked for Christmas here (or cakes as we call them... everything baked for Christmas is called julekake.. Christmas cake, but it translates better into cookie for english speakers). The reason it is not mentioned in the video is that it's not part of the official 7 kinds. But there are many more than the 7 that are baked for Christmas... like pepperkaker for instance (ginger bread).
OK, awesome. Thanks for explaining that and merry Christmas! :)
@@kjirsten11 God Jul!
Sandkakene var jo nesten brent.!
De smaker bedre da ;) ...men smak og behag
How do you cut and Serve the Kransekeke?
You can serve the entire rings, and then your guests just brake them up. Or you can break them up beforehand . No need for cutting
Where can I find that cone with a clip???
Hi there, we call them krumkakerulle in Norwegian. Krumkake roller. Try google that and you'll find some options. Looks like amazon has a collection of them. Good luck!
Hard to find. I've only seen the rollers WITH CLIPS in Norway.
@@4gma59 soo I need to travel to Norway just to get one? Because I might lol
@@thatonedog819 I sure hope not. I've been looking online so I could provide you with a link for purchase, but everything I've found so far is ''discontinued." What a bummer. I'd love to order one too. Maybe I'll just use my curling iron. 🤫🤣 (Will get back to you if I find anything 🙂). Merry Christmas!
Oh, I wish I could understand her, she looks lovely, but my Norwegian is Oslo, I don't think this is the dialogue she speaks..... :(
She has a very strong accent from an east area of Oslo. It’s a dialect which is about to go extinct unfortunately.
There are subtitles btw
