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:))

SWEDISH KRINGLER
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:
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the kringler hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Use a sharp knife to score the top of the kringler. This will help the dough rise evenly and prevent it from cracking.
- Bake the kringler until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
- Let the kringler cool slightly before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
- Serve the kringler warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Swedish kringler is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its beautiful braided shape and sweet, nutty flavor, kringler is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
