How to Make Grandma's Norwegian Kringla
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine ½ teaspoon baking soda with ½ cup sour milk and ¼ cup sour cream. Let it fizz for a minute.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients (sour milk mixture) to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into long ropes, about ½ inch thick. Shape into traditional kringla bows or pretzel shapes.
- Place the kringla on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until light golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
