My family loves that the kringle is flaky and not too sweet—it just melts in your mouth. This makes a beautiful presentation on a cookie platter along with other holiday sweets.

Instructions

  • 1. Place flour in a large bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream. Shape into a disk (mixture will be crumbly). Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
