  • Try mixing vanilla and egg beat until mixed. Add the buttermilk and the soda and sift the dry ingredients into this. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well.
  • Put the container into the refrigerator chill overnight. Take out and roll small pieces of the dough into long strips then form them into a figure eight (like a pretzel) put them back into the refrigerator for about an hour.
  • When they have raised to approximately what looks to be the right height. Bake in a 450degree pre-heated oven for approximately 6 to 8 minutes (may vary with the weather so keep an eye on them). But they should be a light brown before you remove them.
  • Refrigeration is one of the keys of “kringla” making. They must be refrigerated in order for them to get the flavor, you could bake them without refrigeration but you lose a lot of the flavor.
  • You can also use: oatmeal, raisins, whole wheat. You can fill them with your favorite filling: cream cheese, jelly etc. you don’t need eggs or yeast.
