pumpkin kringla

Updated on Apr 23, 2015

Kringla is a traditional Norwegian pastry. It is sort of like a pretzel, but sweeter. I've been making them for years, but recently started adding pumpkin to the mix during the autumn months. It adds a delicious, modern touch to this classic baked good. YUM!
