Danish Kringle, From Aebleskiver and More – A Sampling of Danish Recipes by Lisa Steen Riggs I have heard this is devilishly hard to make, but well worth it if you can master it I’ve never been able to make it Hope you have better luck! Time required for chilling dough and for dough to rise are not included in prep time ”, Kringle & Presents is a Christmas morning tradition in our family, and when the local bakery that supplied us closed, I decided to try making one myself The process is indeed somewhat complicated, but the results are well worth the effort The picture I submitted is from my first attempt, and for someone with very little experience making yeast dough, the results were outstanding My family loved it!! The recipe instructions are detailed, clear and easy to follow I would suggest including instructions to have the seam on top I also kept one of the assembled kringles in the fridge for a day and a half prior to baking, and had the same excellent results The only changes I made, were using 1 1/2 times the filling, and sprinkling some sliced almonds on top after the egg wash Definitely a recipe I will make again M
