Krumkake are made like a pizzelle -- batter dropped onto a special
closable griddle surface -- but rolled immediately on removal from the
griddle -- usually around a wood cone. Sometimes filled with whipped
cream just before serving. We like them plain. The crumbles are nice
on ice cream, too. Instead of rolling the krumkake, you can also form
them over an upside down custard cup to make a shell for holding a light
filling.
You're thinking of chruschiki, I'll bet. Mom called them crullers. The
Scandinavians (Swedes for sure) call them fattigmand. More than one
culture does that fried-dough-dusted-with-powdered-sugar thang. I don't
think you're thinking of rosettes, but maybe. That's a batter on a
form, deep fried for not very long, then drained and dusted with
powdered sugar or granulated at serving time. They're good, too. :-)
