I have been making this delicious Danish treat since the early 60's! I received this recipe from a close friend when I lived in Racine, Wisc. I always have extra recipe copies ready for my friends after they taste this in my home. Great for coffee clutches, or a breakfast treat for over-night company! I usually put frosting on the top. But this time I only sprinkled powdered sugar on top. Another friend called it a Kringle!.But a Danish Kringle is made with yeast and the normal shape is like a race track. Racine, WI. is famous for them.
