Authentic Norwegian Kringla

Kringla seems to be a midwestern
variation of “kringle,” which is the actual name.
This kringle recipe has been around since
at least the late 1940s.Here's a kringle recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup of Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
3 cups of Flour
1/2 cup of Margarine (recipe says “oleo”) or Butter
1 cup of Buttermilk
2-1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
1 teaspoon of Vanilla or a dash of Nutmeg

Directions:
Cream together the sugar and margarine or butter (”oleo”), then add the egg and mix well. Sift together the baking soda, flour and baking powder and add to the sugar mixture, alternately, with the buttermilk. Add the vanilla or nutmeg and mix. Cover tightly and let rest overnight in the refrigerator.
Taking approximately 1 teaspoon at a time, roll the dough into a thin roll and make into a pretzel-like shape. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in a pre-heated 475° oven until they are brown on the bottom. Place under broiler for approximately 1 minute (just until brown on top).
