How to Make Danish Sugar Pretzels Kringler

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl (or food processor), whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (softened), 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream.
  3. Using a hand mixer or food processor, mix until a soft dough forms. If using a food processor, pulse until the dough just comes together.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll small pieces of dough (about the size of a walnut) into thin 6-inch strips.
  6. Shape each strip into a pretzel.
  7. Dip the top of each pretzel into coarse pearl sugar or crushed sugar cubes.
  8. Place the pretzels, sugar-side up, onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each one.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and cooked through.
