NORWEGIAN KRINGLAS
These are a mix between a cake and a cookie and not too sweet. The recipe came from my grandmother and everyone seems to love these... she always had them on hand when we came to visit.

NEXT DOOR LADY'S KRINGLA (NORWEGIAN)
The wonderful elderly lady next door while I was growing up would always bake these for her grandchildren and bake extra for me. The heavenly scent of it cooking would fill the house and make my mouth water. Getting these baked well takes a lot of practice, but it's well worth it!

Steps:
- Beat all the liquids together well in a large bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients together well in a medium bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to liquids.
- Then add either the vanilla or lemon extract.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Set oven to preheat at 400 degrees.
- The dough is very sticky.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out about a'golf ball size' spoonful of dough.
- Having your counter or bread board covered with flour (it takes quite a bit to avoid having it stick -- ), drop the spoonful onto the flour and roll it enough to get all the outside coated with a thin film of flour.
- Then roll the dough like a thin (1/2" thick or slightly less) rope.
- Putting the rope on your pre-greased cookie sheet, twist the ends over one another one time.
- Bring the loop at the top down over the twisted ends.
- That should make the shape you want (a figure eight shape).
- Put about 12 on each cookie sheet, and begin baking.
- Put the first cookie sheet on the lower (not at the lowest level, though) rack in your oven.
- Bake for 6 minutes (be exact -- she set a timer!) then transfer that sheet to the top rack of your oven (if you have an electric oven with the broiler on top, don't put them very close to the heat).
- Bake another 6 minutes (exact -- ) and take them out.
- They should be lightly browned on both the top and the bottom, if you have the correct temperature in your oven.
GRANDMA RUTH'S KRINGLA
My Swedish grandmother made the BEST kringla! We always had this special cookie for Christmas. Now I make them for my family, although they're never as good as Grandma's kringla.

NORWEGIAN FIGURE-8 CAKES KRINGLA
Kringla may be anything from a yeast-raised bun to a cake that is shaped with a cookie press. This version is made with an anise-flavoured yeast dough and is a favourite at Christmastime. The dough requires no kneading and is easy to shape because it is refrigerated.

LINDA MADSEN'S KRINGLA
This is an old Scandinavian "cookie" recipe. It reminds me of a sweet bread in a pretzel formation. It is usually made at Christmas time, and is made with ingredients typically on hand in your pantry. No frosting required! Served with butter is also an option.
