Ingredients
Instructions
- Add soda to sour cream and buttermilk.
- Add sugar to the mixture.
- Sift the rest of the ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and oil.
- Add the sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- Knead the dough lightly on a floured board.
- If the dough is too sticky, work in a bit more flour.
- Shape the dough into desired forms and bake at 500°F for 5 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your sour cream and buttermilk are at room temperature before mixing. If you want to reduce the sugar, consider using a sugar substitute or reducing the overall amount slightly. If you're out of buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing regular milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. This recipe can also be adapted to use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
These kringles are delightful on their own but can be served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a light glaze for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon treat. For a festive twist, serve them alongside a slice of Mom Parker'S Coconut Pie or a refreshing Santa Claus Salad for a delightful gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover kringles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, maintaining their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blends. Just be aware that the texture may vary. Whole wheat flour will make the kringles denser, while gluten-free blends may require additional adjustments in liquid or binding agents.
How do I know when the kringles are done baking?
The kringles should be lightly golden brown on the edges when they are done. You can also check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Keep an eye on them, as they bake quickly at 500°F.
Can I add flavors or fillings to the dough?
Absolutely! You can customize your kringles by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. For fillings, consider incorporating fruits like apples or berries, or even chocolate chips. Just be mindful of the moisture content of any added ingredients, as it may affect the dough consistency.
