kringles

Oval layered treats

Kringles are ring-shaped or pretzel-shaped pastries, typically of Scandinavian origin.

The American kringle, associated especially with Wisconsin, is an oval flaky pastry with sweet filling—often almond, pecan, or fruit—and icing on top: We picked up a kringle from the Danish bakery.

The singular is kringle.
