SWEDISH KRINGLER OR ALMOND PUFF
This is my personal favorite "favorite". It is the butteryist, richest, flakiest, custardiest, yummiest, creation with so few ingredients. This recipe goes way, way back to the 1940's and it is always a hit no matter when I bake it or to who I serve it to...

Steps:
- 1. STEP ONE: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut butter into flour. Sprinkle water over this mixture. Mix well with fork. Round into ball. Divide in half. On ungreased baking sheet, pat each half into a strip 12 inches by 3 inches. Strips should be about 3 inches apart ( side by side) from each other on the baking sheet.
- 2. STEP TWO: In medium saucepan heat butter and water to rolling boil. Remove from heat and quickly stir in almond extract and 1 cup flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball ( about 1 minute). Remove from heat; beat in eggs, all at one time until smooth.
- 3. STEP TWO cont: Divide above mixture in half, spread evenly over strips already on the baking sheet, covering completely.
- 4. Bake about 1 hour or until topping is crisp and brown. Cool. Frost with confectioners sugar glaze and sprinkle generously with nuts. We like toasted sliced almonds, mixed nuts are always great, but your choice. When serving, slices can be cut as thick or thin as you like:))
DANISH KNOTS (KRINGLER) LIGHT FLAKY BAKED WHIPPED CREAM COOKIES
During my travels in Denmark, I fell in love with Danish treats. This is a very old, authentic recipe for a slightly sweet Danish cookie. The addition of whipped cream makes a tender, delicate texture.

Steps:
- Sift flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in butter until particles are the size of rice kernels. (I allow butter to slightly soften at room temperature while I gather my ingredients to make cutting it into the flour easier, but it should still be mostly firm).
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. (Whip it until it is the consistency of whipped cream used for topping a slice of pie).
- Mix in cream with a fork and knead lightly with fingertips until mixture makes a ball.
- Roll a fourth of the dough at a time into a 6 by 4 inch rectangle. Sprinkle crushed loaf sugar over the dough, pressing in lightly. (I use granulated sugar instead of loaf sugar.) Cut into 6 by ¼ inch strips. Form into figure eights or loose knots to resemble pretzels. Place on ungreased parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. (Note: when making pretzel shapes, press the dough down where the strips overlap to make the same thickness as the sides of the cookie for even baking. Otherwise, the sides will cook too quickly leaving the thicker layered of dough still raw).
- Bake at 400F degrees about 12 minutes or until lightly golden. (Because oven temperatures vary, I bake mine for 16 minutes to achieve lightly golden color all over. Watch closely for they burn easily.) Store in an airtight cookie tin at room temperature.

Steps:
- Sift flour into medium bowl. Cut in butter, with pastry blender or 2 knives, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and egg yolks. With fork, blend just until dough holds together. Turn out dough onto waxed paper or foil. With rubber scraper, or hands, shape into a 6 inch square. Wrap, then refrigerate until ready to roll out. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375. On lightly sugared surface, roll out dough, one part at a time, into a 6X3" rectangle. Cut crosswise into 10 parts. With hands, roll each part into a 9 inch pencil-thin strip. Place, 2" apart, on ungreased cookie sheets; shape each into a 'pretzel'. brush lightly with a mixture of egg white and 1 tblsp water, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10-13 minutes until light-golden. Remove to wire rack and cool.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a good quality butter for the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to let the dough rise twice, you can let it rise once for about an hour.
- To make the filling, you can use any type of jam or preserves that you like.
- If you don't have any almond paste, you can use a mixture of ground almonds and sugar.
- To make the glaze, you can use any type of milk that you like.
- To get the best results, bake the kringler in a preheated oven.
Conclusion:
The Kringler is a delicious and festive pastry that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a Kringler that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give the Kringler a try!
