Marzipan Birthday Kringle, Kringle is a wonderful Danish pastry This recipe is from Scandinavian Feasts written by Beatrice Ojakangas Please note that it must be started one day ahead, because the pastry requires long refrigeration The refrigeration time is not included below , Every year I wait in line at the Scandinavian bakery to get my Xmas pastries for the family! Our favorite is Kringle! We’ve had it every year for as long as I can remember! But I think that tradition may have ended with the recipe! Making my own Kringle has been on my cooking bucket list and now I can cross it off! No more standing in line for me! What was surprising was how easy this recipe is to make My only challenge was I didn’t have a space big enough to roll the dough square, and therefor it came out a tiny bit thicker Next time I’ll move to the dining room table to roll it out completely! I saw the other reviews and hadn’t thought to increase the filling, but I think I might I to had to cover the dough with foil the last 15 minutes or so to avoid over browning! So much fun to make and so excited to have a new holiday tradition! Thanks for posting Nan!! Made for CQ 2017, Scnadinavia
