What a wonderful recipe! Thank your grandmother, please, and let her know I not only copied her recipe, but also her picture onto my recipe card!

My original recipe is from a neighbor, dated Dec. 4, 1973. I make it every year at Christmas time. I decorate it with cut up red & green marischino cherries – very festive. One year I thought that my kids (now adults) wouldn’t care. Boy, did I hear from them as they looked for it. I don’t fail to make it ever again! If you like almond flavoring, like I do, you’ll love this! Of course, I am of Swedish ancestry!

Hello Aneeta! Hmm, not sure where it went wrong. Did you use all purpose flour? I’ve had issues cooking with self rising flour in popovers where it didn’t rise at all (something to do with the steam countering the levener in the flour). Sorry, not really sure! I’ll maybe give it a whirl with the baking stick and see what happens. It seems like they should work just as well butter.

Cheers!
Steph

Thanks for sharing this recipe – yum! I have to admit that I swapped butter for crisco cholesterol-free baking sticks (forgive me!) and the crust was too flaky and filling didn’t seem to rise as much as yours in the pictures above. Did this happen b/c of my altering the recipe or is there something else I could have done wrong?

Hello Ann! So good to hear from you, I hope you are doing well! I love that you made a cookbook for the big rehearsal dinner and definitely look forward to making all of your recipes. I’ll be sure to do a post, I’ll probably need some of your feedback to make sure I’m making everything right:) You all did such a wonderful job!!!

Excellent question, I haven’t seen any places that serve kringle in DC but I will definitely keep an eye out! If you like Scandinavian food there is a restaurant called Domku that has some good options, including lefse. http://www.domkucafe.com/Welcome.html I’ve been once and thought it was pretty good!

Hi, Steph! I’m Casey’s mom. And I’m officially tired after the big weekend! It was so much fun. Wish that I had known about your interest in food! We could have really TALKED! You do such an amazing job with the photos and this site is totally professional! You’ve found your second (first) calling I think. As you look through that “cookbook” I did for the groom’s supper there are probably tons of mistakes, so email me! I also modified some of the recipes from the originals, so ask me if there was one you wanted to try! I can let you know what I changed. I took a lot of ideas from a magazine that is no longer in print, and would be happy to share experiences.

I watched you and some of the other girls that day- Jill is lucky to have such a wonderful group of true friends.

Erin and I love to cook (she’s the one that got us into catering back when she was in high school)- and I love to share and talk to others that love it too- we’re only a .net away! Ann PS I lived in DC several summers when I worked for National Geographic and absolutely love that city and area- can let you know about some of the restaurant finds we discovered-
