Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

CRUST
1 c flour
1/2 c butter
1 Tbsp water
FILLING
1 c water
1/2 c butter
1 c flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp almond extract
FROSTING
1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

1. Crust: Mix flour, butter and water like you would a pie crust. Place on cookie sheet in 2 long strips, about 3 inches wide.
2. Filling: Bring water and butter to boil, then remove from the fire. Add the flour, add eggs at a time and beat well after each egg. Add vanilla and spread over crust. Bake 350 oven for 50 to 55 minutes.
3. Frosting: Mix powdered sugar, butter and almond extract together. Spread over Kringle while warm. My grandmother always cut these at an angle, in thin strips. Oh SO good!!!

Tips:

Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and make it easier to roll. This will prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
Use a rolling pin: A rolling pin is the best tool for rolling out the dough. This will help to ensure that the dough is evenly rolled out and has a consistent thickness.
Don't over-roll the dough: Over-rolling the dough can make it tough and chewy. Roll the dough out just enough to achieve the desired thickness.
Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting the dough. This will help to ensure that the dough is cut evenly and cleanly.
Bake the kringle until it is golden brown: The kringle should be baked until it is golden brown in color. This will ensure that the kringle is cooked through and has a slightly crispy exterior.
Let the kringle cool before serving: Allow the kringle to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the kringle from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Swedish kringle is a delicious and festive pastry that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky dough, sweet almond filling, and beautiful presentation, kringle is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special treat, be sure to give Swedish kringle a try.
