A flaky, buttery pastry with a rich filling, perfect for breakfast or brunch, appealing to those who enjoy sweet and savory baked treats with a tender, golden crust.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 1/2 cup margarine, 1 cup flour, and 1 tablespoon water until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into two strips, each about 3 x 12 inches, and place on a cookie sheet.
- Prepare the remaining ingredients as needed for filling or topping (not specified).
- Bake until golden brown and cooked through (exact time not specified).
Tips & Substitutions
When making Kringle, ensure your margarine is at room temperature for easy mixing. If you want a richer flavor, consider substituting part of the margarine with butter. For added texture, try incorporating chopped nuts or dried fruit into the filling. Always keep an eye on the oven while baking, as times may vary; check for a golden brown color.
Serving Suggestions
Kringle is delightful on its own, but you can enhance your serving by pairing it with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It also pairs beautifully with Jeanne'S Apple Bread Pudding for a dessert spread. Consider drizzling a simple glaze or sprinkling powdered sugar on top for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Kringle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer, where it can last for up to a month. To reheat, let it thaw overnight and warm it in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes to restore its crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour?
Yes, all-purpose flour can be used in place of cake flour in this recipe. Just be aware that it may yield a slightly denser texture. For a lighter result, you can mix in a bit of cornstarch with the all-purpose flour.
What can I use as a filling for the Kringle?
You can get creative with your fillings! Consider using fruit preserves, cream cheese, or even Nutella. If you want a nutty flavor, a mixture of chopped nuts and cinnamon sugar works well too.
How do I know when the Kringle is done baking?
The Kringle is done baking when it turns a golden brown color and feels firm to the touch. If you're uncertain, you can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your pastry is ready.
