Here is one on ebay. (krumkake maker) Is this what you have?

Thanks, dcarch and olychick. The outside of mine looks like the iron in the first link (scroll down) however the inside is quite different. (Hey! I posted a picture before, but I can't see it! I will try again.)

The ones in the links would make a nice, thin cookie with a design sort of inscribed into it, what I think of as a pizzelle. The one I have has a deeper pockets, like a waffle. I suspect it is a waffle iron, but such thin waffles. I don't think it would work for krumkake cones, unless there is a specific batter that makes it crisp up when it cools. That is why I'm asking. I'm hoping there is someone here who knows what it is and what recipe I should be using.

Trying again to post a pic of the inside of the iron that I suspect is a waffle maker, but perhaps is a krumkake iron or pizzelle iron.

You have a Norwegan waffle maker. Very traditional "vafell" (I can't spell it but I can say it!) maker.....they are little sort of cookie like waffles often served folded over and filled with whipped cream and jam or fruit.

If you look into my thread "Rice Paper", the first two photos, you will see I used the same maker to make the pancakes.

Here's one recipe I found.....I have never made them..but when I have eaten them they they were seasoned with cardamon. This recipe calls for a teaspoon of ground cardamon.....think that may be a bit much!!

Here in the middle of the country, there are a lot of 3rd generation Scandanavians, and some how they get their pastries mixed up. My Danish neighbor would come over at Christmas with something that looked for all the world like the krumkaka that my Swedish mother in law made. My friend, Gerda made the waffles as well as other wonderful little treats. And then there's my Dutch friends with names like Schakel and Knoot! All make wonderful goodies!

Thank you all so much!

I saw the picture, dcarch, on the rice paper thread, and wondered when I noticed the heart shapes.

Lindac, thanks for the info and the recipe. I like the idea of folding them over a filling--they seem just right for that. They just seem too thin to eat like regular waffles, but I think I would really enjoy them as you suggested. (I have a sensitivity to wheat, so will have to wait another week or so before trying the recipe. I can tolerate small doses not too close together. The "blueberry puzzle" question by compumom describes my wheat situation very well.)

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone. Prayers and hugs to all those affected by the shooting in Aurora, CO.

you definitly have a krumkake iron. my grandmother taught all of us girls how to make this wonderful cookie from norway. verare baked to a light golden brown then rolled around a wooden cone - when they are done they look like very light crisp ice cream cones. i like them just like that but many fill them with jam or cream.
