Subject: Kringle recipe
Hello!
Just happened onto your website. What a great idea. Maybe you can
help me too. I would like to find a recipe similar to what I buy at
Larsen's Bakery in Seattle for Kringle. It is baked in an oblong
circle and you can fill it with almond paste or apple filling,
raisins, etc. Have any ideas? Thanks so much. Judy
Hi Judy,
There are quite a few recipes online for these Danish pastries. Below are three recipes are Denmark.
However, Larsen's according to their site, makes their filling with almond paste and raisins. I did not
find any with those ingredients.
Phaed
Danish Kringle
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter or margarine
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/2 cup warm milk (110 to 115 degrees)
1 egg, beaten
Filling
1-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
Glaze
1 cup confectioner's sugar
4 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl, cut in butter until
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Dissolve yeast in warm water; stir
into flour mixture with warm milk and egg. Beat until smooth (dough
will be very soft). Cover and chill at least 2 hours, but not more
than 24 hours. Punch dough down. Divide dough in half; return one
half to refrigerator. On a well floured board, roll other half into
a 15 x 1-inch rectangle.
Combine filling ingredients. Spread half of the filling down center
of rectangle in a 2-inch strip. Fold sides of dough over filling,
overlapping 1-1/2 inches; pinch edges to seal. Shape into an oval;
pinch ends together. Place seam side down on a greased 15 x 10 x 2-inch
baking pan. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise
in a warm place for 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or
until golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes. Combine confectioners's sugar;
water and vanilla, spread over kringles. Sprinkle with nuts.
Yields: 2 Kringles.
--------------------------------
Danish Kringle
Makes 3 braids
" This recipe is from my father-in-law's mother who was born and raised
in Denmark. It is a wonderful holiday pastry treat that is both beautiful
and delicious. Plan your dough at least 1 to 2 days in advance. Making
the dough is very simple and takes just a few minutes to prepare and
refrigerate. Creating the kringle takes more time but it is worth it!!"
1 cup butter
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups chopped English walnuts, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
Directions
1 In a large bowl, using a knife or pastry blender, cut 1 cup of butter
into flour until crumbly, leaving pea-sized chunks. Stir in sour cream
and mix well; dough will be very sticky. With your hands form dough into
a ball and place in a bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Make filling by
combining 1 cup butter, brown sugar and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
3 Remove dough from refrigerator and divide into 3 equal parts. While
working with 1 part, leave the remaining dough in the refrigerator, as
the dough works best when cold.
4 Working quickly, form dough into a rectangle and flour lightly. On a
heavily floured surface roll dough out to approximately 12x17 inches.
Position the dough lengthwise on the work surface.
5 Spread about 1/3 of the filling down the center third of the dough.
Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2-wide slanting lines up each side, angling
the cuts from the center of the dough to the edge. Fold the strips into
the center, crisscrossing the filling by folding one strip from the left,
then one from the right, much like braiding. Lightly press the ends
together to seal. Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining chopped walnuts on top.
6 Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden. Remove from
oven and transfer onto a cooling rack.
7 Meanwhile, make the icing by combining confectioners' sugar and water;
beat until very smooth. Drizzle pastry with 1/3 of the icing.
----------------------------
Danish Kringle
Ingredients
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled
1/4 cup water (105 degrees)
1 package dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3 egg yolks, beaten, save whites
4 cups flour
1 cup shortening or real butter
Butter
Brown sugar
3 egg whites
Raisins
Pecans
Instructions
Mix water, yeast and sugar; let set until dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Add milk. Add 3 beaten egg yolks. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix 4 cups of flour with 1 cup shortening or butter
until crumbly like for a pie crust. Add milk mixture to flour mixture.
Mix until just moist. Refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll both pieces to fit a
lightly greased jelly-roll-size pan, put one piece of dough in the
bottom of pan. Brush with butter; sprinkle brown sugar over butter.
Beat 3 egg whites until stiff and spread on top of brown sugar. On top
of egg whites, sprinkle raisins and nuts.
Fit top crust over to make a top and pinch to seal edges. Let rise
about 2 hours in a warm place. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes,
until golden brown. When cool, frost with white powdered sugar frosting
and enjoy.

Hi Rusty,
Well, I can't find anything like that. Instead I'm sending you a couple of
fudge recipes from retail stores that might work for you. See's and Funky
Monk's are both noted for their fudge.
Phaed
See's Fudge Candy (The "Original" Recipe!)
Ingredients (25 servings)
4 1/2 c Sugar
3 pk Chocolate chips (12 oz ea)
1/2 lb Margarine
1 ts Vanilla
1 cn Evaporated milk
7 oz Marshmallow cream
2 c Nuts
Instructions
Mix 4 1/2 cups sugar with one (1) can evaporated milk. Boil 7 to 8
minutes, stirring often. (rolling boil)
Mix together in a large bowl; 3 packages chocolate chips, 7 oz.
jar marshmallow cream, 1/2 lb. melted margarine.
Cream margarine and marshmallow together and add chocolate chips.
Pour hot mixture over chocolate mixture.
After chocolate has melted, add 2 cups of nuts and 1 tsp. of vanilla,
blend well, pour into buttered pans and chill in refrigerator. Cut into
squares before firm.
This recipe makes about 5 lbs of fudge. No one has attempted a
calorie count, but it's estimated that each piece contains about
47 gazillion calories. Dieters, beware!
HISTORICAL NOTE: Given to Amy DeVore by Emma Julian c. 1930, this
is "supposedly" the original recipe for See's Fudge, produced by the
See's Candy Company, Los Angeles. Emma allegedly worked for See's and
later owned her own candy store.
-------------------------------
Funky Monks' Fudge
4 1/2 cups sugar
13 ounces evaporated milk
9 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
9 ounces unsweetened chocolate chips
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
7 ounces marshmallow creme
2 cups chopped walnuts
Bring sugar and milk to a boil. Over medium heat, cook exactly six
minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in semisweet and unsweetened chocolate
chips, butter, vanilla extract, marshmallow creme and walnuts. Beat
mixture until it feels firm. Pour into a nonstick (or lightly buttered
or sprayed) 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan. Cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate overnight. To serve, cut into squares slightly bigger than
1 inch (8 rows by 12 rows). Makes 96 pieces.

Hi,
I just found out about your site and hope that you can help me.
I don't know what the name of the recipe is but I can describe it.
good luck..I sure hope you find it.
It is a pie that is served chilled. It is like a cream pie. I think
the pie crust is baked before adding the filling. It is white with
pineapple, coconut. It has whipped cream as the topping.
Thanks so much!
Debbie
Hi Debbie,
Gosh, the database has 658 pie recipes that have pineapple, coconut and whipped cream or whipped topping. I need more info to narrow it down.
The simplest one is below. Maybe that's it?
