"My family loves this Kringle's flakiness and that it's not too sweet; it just melts in your mouth. It makes a beautiful presentation on a cookie platter, cut on an angle along with other holiday sweets." –Connie Vjestica, Brookfield, Illinois

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup sour cream
FILLING:
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
ICING:
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

Place flour in a large bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle.
In a small bowl, beat egg white and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in pecans.
Divide dough into four portions. Roll one portion into a 12x6-in. rectangle; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread a fourth of the egg white mixture lengthwise down the center. Fold in sides of pastry to meet in the center; pinch seam to seal. Repeat.
Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over warm pastries.

First time making a Kringle & followed the recipe to a T. Easy to make, dough is excellent to work with. Delicious, would not change a thing.

I thought there was never going to be enough filling, and the dough tasted nasty to me because I do not like sour cream. Wow - the finished bars are perfect and the flakiest dough I've ever made from scratch. Forget "drizzling" icing. I just spread it all on and it made them glossy and yummy.

Next time I try this, I am going to cut down a little bit on the butter. Very good!

This Recipe is fairly easy and the dough come out easy to roll and very flaky. The whipped egg whites looked weird, but tasted good. To fix the opening up problem others had....after rolling out the dough, spread filling down the middle and then make slanted cuts on each side \ // like so, then starting from the bottom, alternate folding upwards to create a braided look. Fold the ends under. This seemed to "seal" it enough for mine and made the kringles beautiful. Gave them away at Christmas and New years! Everyone raved.

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I tasted it at a church function and it was so good I had to track down the woman who made it so I could get the recipe.

I made these for Christmas last year and they were gone within a day....the were amazing....I agree that I would pinch the top shut because I had a lot of the filling showing when they were done baking.

Made this again, this time substituting cream cheese for the egg white. Mixed the cream cheese with 1/2 a cup of sugar and spread it on the dough. Sprinkled it with pecans and drizzled with caramel before folding it over. The dough is the best so I wouldn't change a thing about it. Still a keeper!
