This recipe from Esther has been enjoyed for decades. It's easy and very tasty! The recipe makes 2 kringles
Almond Kringle
The "base"-
1 cup AP flour
1 stick cold butter
2 Tbl water
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
Cut butter into the flour until the butter looks like small flour covered peas. Add water and form into a ball. Divide in 2. Make two 3 x 12 inch rectangles and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
The "top"
1 cup water
one stick of butter
2 tsp almond extract
1 cup flour
3 eggs
Melt one stick of butter in one cup of water. Bring to a boil and add almond extract and one cup of flour. Remove from heat. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Add 3 eggs ( make sure to temper them with a bit of the dough) and beat until fluffy with a hand mixer. Add this mixture to the top of the base. Bake at 350 Degrees for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and delicious.
The glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered suger
2 tbl butter
1 to 2 tbl of milk or water
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of almond extract
( I go with 1 1/1 tsp of straight almond, I like almond)
Let the kringle cool and add glaze and some sliced almonds.
Eat and enjoy!
