Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup almond paste softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg egg wash beaten, for glazing
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds for topping
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar for drizzle
- 1 tablespoon milk for glaze
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and cold butter. Cut butter into flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add granulated sugar and mix well. Gradually add water (about 0.25 cups) until dough holds together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out chilled dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened almond paste evenly over the dough and sprinkle with vanilla extract.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, then shape into an oval or ring, pinching the ends to seal.
- Place kringle on prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Mix powdered sugar with milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled kringle before serving.
Notes
Store kringle wrapped in foil at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat slices briefly before serving for best flavor.
