kringla

How To Make kringla

• Step 1
  In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sour cream, sugar, egg yolks, and salt. Beat vigorously with the whip attachment. (If you have one of the new whipping paddles that has a scraper blade, this works really well with this step.)
• Step 2
  Add the baking powder and baking soda and beat until everything is well incorporated.
• Step 3
  Add the flour (enough for a soft dough, but not sticky). At this point, remove the bowl from the mixer and continue to add the flour manually. Using a wooden spoon will help in adding the flour.
• Step 4
  Remove the dough from the mixer and place on a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Step 5
  When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Step 6
  Remove the dough from the refrigerator and open the plastic wrap but DO NOT remove the dough from the plastic wrap.
• Step 7
  Pinch off a piece of dough and roll it into a long pencil shape.
• Step 8
  Shape the dough into a figure eight.
• Step 9
  Using cooking spray, coat a cookie sheet or tin.
• Step 10
  Place the figure eights on the oiled sheet.
• Step 11
  Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the Kringla are lightly brown on top (this will depend on how hot your oven is). Note: You may wish to re-cover the dough and set it in the refrigerator while the first batch bakes...this will prevent the dough from becoming sticky or dried out as you work with it.
• Step 12
  Remove the pastries from the oven and lift each one from the pan to a cooling rack.
• Step 13
  You may serve these right away with butter and/or jam and preserves.
• Step 14
  Store the Kringla in an airtight container. These will keep for several days if they last that long.
• Step 15
  These make a good breakfast or anytime treat!
