Ingredients
Scale
2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
⅓ cup of cold water
1 cup of almond paste
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon of almond extract
Powdered sugar for drizzling
Chopped almonds for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
In a bowl, mix the almond paste with the almond extract until smooth. Set aside.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch border.
Starting from one short side, roll the dough into a log shape and pinch the ends to seal.
Shape the log into a circle or twist it into a figure-eight.
Place the kringle on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
Let it cool before drizzling with powdered sugar and water or milk for glaze. Sprinkle chopped almonds on top if desired.
