16+ Christmas Kringle Pastry Recipe You Must Try Them!

Ingredients You Will Need

For the Pastry:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Filling:

• 1 cup almond paste
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix the butter and flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the sour cream and cold water to the mixture and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the almond paste, softened butter, and sugar until well combined. Add in the egg and almond extract and mix until smooth.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle dried cranberries or cherries over the filling.
5. Roll up the dough, starting from the long side. Pinch the ends together and place the roll seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
