kringle

Oval layered pastry

A kringle is an oval-shaped Scandinavian pastry, typically made with flaky, butter-layered dough and filled with fruit, nuts, or almond paste.

The pastry is especially associated with Danish and Norwegian baking traditions.

In the United States, the kringle became strongly identified with Racine, Wisconsin, where Danish immigrants established bakeries: We picked up a kringle on our way through Wisconsin.
