WTF are KRINGLA ???



There are few Scandinavians who don't know what Kringla are. These delightful bread/cookies are delicious whether plain, sugared, with jelly or honey. Made from simple ingredients found in most kitchens.



My Kringla are simple; Mix these ingredients first 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup melted butter,1-1/2 cups sugar,1 egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla




Add in gradually 4-1/4 cups flour Mix these in with the first cup of flour...2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt



After the second cup of flour you may as well install your bread hooks to finish out the kneading.



Cover the dough and chill it overnight. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F. Divide the dough into four pieces. Divide each piece into 8 small balls.



Roll each ball on a lightly floured surface to an 8" rope, making sure it's as even as possible. Form the rope into a figure eight and seal the ends. Put eight Kringlas on one cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are light brown. Remove immediately to a wire rack to cool.



I've seen some Kringla worked into imaginative shapes decorated with sprinkles, frosting, and syrups........ Go wild and enjoy !

***************************************

Tips for the best Kringla recipe:

Measure the flour correctly. Spoon the flour lightly into the cup and level it off. Each cup of flour should weigh 125 grams if you are into that sort of thing.
Don’t handle the dough too much. Even though it’s rich, you can still overwork it, which will make the cookies tougher. This is basically a quick bread recipe and must be handled gently.

All the basics are probably already there in your kitchen just waiting to be mixed up.

    THE MESS WOULD JUST BE TRANSFERRED TO TUESDAY. HOW MANY DAYS IN A WEEK CAN WE CANCEL?
IDK, however, the measure is before the British Parliament.

They can be made in some most fanciful shapes and decorated with a host of toppings and condiments.

Oh, that is a bigger job than I had thought, Darter. Why do I need Baking Soda plus Baking powder? I'll postpone this Kringla fun and share the "job" with my stepdaughter this coming weekend. LOL Thank you for the recipe.

I bet she'll just love shaping the Kringla! Remember the variety of sprinkles to top the Kringla. An added benefit is the ability to form letters to make her name ! I did that many years ago with my Grandma.

Thanks for the recipe! My Mom used to make these, but I never knew what they were called. My baby brother took her recipe file after she died and I bet this recipe is in there. I swear, she could bake anything and it always turned out great! Me, not so much, cookies, pies and bread turn out fine, but don't ever ask me to bake a cake, they never turn out right.
