The Easiest Butter-Pecan Kringle Ever image

Kringle looks like it should be really hard to make. And it usually is, which is why most folks buy their kringle from one of the Wisconsin bakeries that specialize in this tender, layered, butter Danish Christmas pastry. This version of kringle is super-easy. And while it's not made in the traditional manner, you'll find it just as tender.-Taste of Home Cooking School

I think this recipe would be better with a different type of filling. The pecan filling was a bit too heavy for me.
