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:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your kringle. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality flour.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a light touch when rolling out the dough: Don't press down too hard on the dough when you're rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from becoming tough.
- Brush the kringle with egg wash before baking: Egg wash will give the kringle a golden brown color and a shiny crust.
- Bake the kringle until it is golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the kringle. Insert a toothpick into the center of the kringle; if it comes out clean, the kringle is done.
Conclusion:
Swedish kringle is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its flaky crust, sweet filling, and nutty flavor, kringle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Swedish kringle a try.
