Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup unsalted butter, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
1 cup water
3 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons almond extract, divided
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Make the dough: Cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour using a knife or pastry blender. Add 1 tablespoon water (or as needed) and mix until crumbly, leaving pea-sized chunks. On a floured surface, roll dough out to 3 or 4 inches in width. Place onto a rectangular cookie sheet.
Make the filling: In a small saucepan over high heat, bring 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in remaining 1 cup flour; mix until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract. Spread filling over dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes. The pastry will fall a little as it cools.
Meanwhile, make the icing: Combine confectioners' sugar, cream, 1 tablespoon butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon almond extract.
Remove kringle from the oven and immediately spread icing over top.
