From Our Recipe Box to Yours....

       Today, I asked Kate what special treats she was making or had made for Christmas and she said, Kringla. What? I'd never heard of this before. She said that it was Norwegian and that her husband's grandma gave her the recipe and it is one of her favorites!
     So, in honor of the holidays and trying new things, here's Kate's recipe for Kringla.

1 1/2 c. sugar                1 tsp. baking powder

1 stick margarine           1 tsp. soda

1 egg                            1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. buttermilk                2 tsp. vanilla

4 c. flour

 

Mix together well.  Refrigerate dough at least two hours, can be overnight.  Take a ball of dough the size of a walnut and on a floured board roll out to pencil size.  Make a figure 8 or a pretzel on the cookie sheet.  Bake@ 400 degrees for 12 minutes.  Remove from pan, dampen a paper towel and lightly swiping it on the tops of the kringla.  They stay softer with the water.

Enjoy!
