Let's get cozy! Wisconsin's official state pastry, the Danish Kringle, is as hygge as it gets. This lovely little almond pastry is perfect for slicing and sharing with friends over a cup of coffee or tea. It may not look like an authentic Kringle, but it tastes just like it, and it's easy to make at home while still wearing your slippers.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the crust layer:
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
3
Cut butter into small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine flour and cold butter pieces. Using a knife or pastry cutter, cut into dough until pea-sized crumbs form. Sprinkle with ice water, then stir with a fork until soft dough forms.

4
Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a thin 3-inch x 12-inch strip. Using the back of a measuring cup, press on to prepared baking sheet (each strip should be about 1/4-inch thick).
5
To make the filling layer:
6
In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately stir in flour. Whisk until smooth.

Add eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Stir in almond extract.

8
Divide the filling between the two crusts, spreading or piping to 3/4-inch from the edge of the crust. Bake until golden brown and puffy, 50 to ⏱️ 60 minutes.
9
Remove from oven and cool completely, at least ⏱️ 1 hour. The filling layer will shrink and fall as the Kringle cools.
10
To make the icing:
11
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, butter, and almond extract until smooth. If the icing seems too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until smooth enough to drizzle.
