I had forgotten about this Kringler recipe until I recently had an opportunity to catch up with a friend from my college days. She reminded me that I had shared this Kringler recipe with her. She has now incorporated making a Kringler into a family tradition at the holiday season. Isn't it funny how something you share can have a lasting impression on someone and you are not even aware of it?
I used to bake more before my family decided that the cornerstone of baking was the root of all evil in the world of food. I am talking about the mouth watering combination of sugar, butter and flour. There are so many delicious things you can make with those three key ingredients that are so delicious but really are not the best for your waistline.
However, I am a firm believer in all things in moderation- including moderation! So indulge a little. Invite friends over for coffee and serve this Kringler as a snack. Kringlers have a very short shelf life, a Kringler is best served warm within an hour or two of baking.
Who knows maybe you will add making a Kringler to your holiday traditions.
