I love this recipe but it's missing a step. I made this yesterday and my recipe (from a different site) calls for one additional step after it's removed from the oven. I think you'll find it makes a huge difference in the finished product. Topping: Spread each warm pastry with about 1/3 cup of jam or preserves. (Any flavor is fine but our favorites are raspberry and apricot.) Do this while the almond puff is still warm but not hot from the oven. Then you sprinkle with the toasted almonds and drizzle with the icing. I can't imagine this recipe without this step as it would seem very bland to me.
This is the same as Kringler (some call it Danish Kringler some Swedish Kringler). I grew up in a little town with TONS of swedish heritage. This was my favorite thing! As soon as I was an adult and moved away I had to hunt down the recipe for kringler as I love all things almond. =) This is exactly like the recipe that I have. I agree that for the first time it may look a bit complicated but it really is so easy. For the crust I just put it all down in a baking pan..I don't do the 2 rectangles. Also before stirring in the eggs one at a time I stir the flower/butter mixture a bit to let it cool down a little. (side note this is not an overly sweet pastry. The pastry itself is a choux pastry made like a cream puff almost. the sweetness really mostly comes from the icing)
very easy and delicious!!I wasn't sure how these would turn out the first two layers having no sugar and 3 eggs.They are wonderful!! The only change I made was using almond extract in the glaze instead of vanilla. Will make again! Thanks Megan!
5 stars plus! This is a really delicious pastry. I used margarine instead of butter as indicated in the body of the recipe. Don't let the lack of sugar scare you. It's perfect. The glaze recipe is missing 1 T of milk to thin it down properly. Add that to the glaze. I sprinkled mine with red and green decorator sprinkles to make it look festive for the holidays. Yummy! My favorite of the Christmas cookie plate this year!
Soooo Good. Will make again. I took this to my sons school for a bake sale and it was the first thing to sell out
This is a favorite of our family especially around the holidays. It's sweet (but not too sweet) and light without being too much work and it is a nice change to the regular dessert fare.
I add some crushed pineapple to the puff filling layer. It's good for a change.
This reminds me of growing up my mom used to make this all of the time. The wonderful aroma when it is baking still brings back fond memories!:) I have made this several times & it is always a big hit!
This was ok but not great. I took it to a cookie exchange and it was the last thing to go. The almond puff filling portion had kind of a wierd texture/consistency. I wont make it again but i would tell anyone considering making it to add a little sugar to the filling part.. i think this might help.
This recipe is good tasting but kind of bland like it's missing something. Have checked many recipes for this and all are exactly the same. Does it need maybe salt to bring out the taste and the sweet? Any one else experience this?
