Notes
- Butter - Adjust depending on how greasy the crumb is. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if necessary. When using only wafers/cookies might require additional 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Pastry - Cinnamon swirl or any Danish pastry works the best. Substitute for pastry is Nilla wafers are any cookie, however traditional romkugler is prepared with pastry and/or cake.
- Cake - Leftover cakes or muffins work the best. If there is any leftover cake or muffin, freeze and use later to prepare rum balls.
