Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Egg yolks
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Almond extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Almond paste
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sliced almonds
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and almond extract. Gradually add to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes. Roll the dough into a 12x10-inch rectangle.
4. Spread the almond paste down the center of the dough. Fold the long sides of the dough over the almond paste, overlapping slightly. Pinch the edges to seal.
5. Carefully transfer the kringle to a greased baking sheet. Shape the kringle into a ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
6. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the kringle. Bake at 375°F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Allow the kringle to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, sprinkle the kringle with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
