Put kringle on lightly greased baking sheet and form into oval shape, pressing ends of kringle together to form a continuous oval. Flatten entire oval with hands. Cover kringle for 1 hour at room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. http://www.cake-recipe.org

Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown color. Cool, then ice with mixture of powder sugar and water.

Please note that the best quality kringle require patience. This process is most successful when spread out over three days. Day 1, roll in first piece of butter. Day 2, roll in second piece of butter and additional fold. Day 3, create your kringle or other fine Danish pastries. A quality Danish pastry should be light, tender, flaky, and full of flavor. With patience and pride this recipe will yield just that. http://www.cake-recipe.org
