  COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: 
    You will need a krumkake iron, which fits over a 7-inch burner surface 
  (gas or electric).  Always use moderate heat. 
    For each baking period, the iron should be lightly rubbed at the 
  beginning with unsalted butter, but after this initial greasing, 
  nothing more is required.  The batter needs a preliminary testing, as 
  it is quite variable, depending on the condition of the flour, so do 
  NOT add at once all the flour called for in the recipe.  Test the 
  batter for consistency by baking 1 teaspoonful first.  The iron is 
  geared to use 1 tablespoon of batter for each wafer, and it should 
  spread easily over the whole surface but should not run over when 
  pressed down.  If the batter is too thin, add more flour.  Should any 
  batter drip over, lift the iron off its frame and cut off the excess 
  batter with a knife run along the edge of the iron. 
    Cook each wafer about 2 minutes on each side or until barely 
  colored. As soon as you remove it from the iron, roll it on a wooden 
  spoon handle or cone form, and, when cool, fill it.
