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.
