Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the heavy cream and sour cream. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Let the sour cream mixture come to room temperature. It should take about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar, shortening, and egg yolk together using an electric mixer. Stir the vanilla and baking soda into the sour cream mixture. Stir the sour cream mixture into the bowl with the sugar and shortening until well blended. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter until fully incorporated.
- Place the dough on a well-floured surface, as the dough will be sticky. Use ping pong ball sized pieces of dough, and roll out into an 8 or 9 inch rope. Form into a 'lazy eight' or 'infinity sign', and pinch the ends together. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until slightly brown. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days, or 1 month in the freezer.

Kringla may be anything from a yeast-raised bun to a cake that is shaped with a cookie press. This version is made with an anise-flavoured yeast dough and is a favourite at Christmastime. The dough requires no kneading and is easy to shape because it is refrigerated.

Tips:
- Choose the right yeast: Fresh or active dry yeast is best for this recipe. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
- Use a light touch when mixing the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough rise quickly. You can place it in a warm oven (turned off) or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Roll the dough out evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a uniform thickness. This will help the kringla bake evenly.
- Use plenty of filling: Don't be shy with the filling. The more filling you use, the better the kringla will taste.
- Bake the kringla until it is golden brown: Keep an eye on the kringla while it is baking. It should be golden brown when it is done.
Conclusion:
Kringla is a delicious and festive pastry that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make this beautiful and tasty treat at home. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give kringla a try. You won't be disappointed!
