1 no ingredients
Directions
1 portion dough for sweet buns (Boller-Sweet Buns)
slivered almonds/coarse sugar/powdered (icing) sugar
Filling 1:
2 c custard cream filling
Filling 2:
5 oz ground almonds
2/3 c sugar 1 egg white 2 Ts Cold water
Filling 3:
1.5 c thick jam, for ex. raspberry or strawberry. Or
applesauce.
Mix dough as for sweet buns. Roll to a long sausage,
about 3 ft. long. If you are adding filling: Roll with
rolling pin so it is about 7-9 in. wide. Spread a
strip of filling along the middle of the dough. Fold
the long sides over the filling, moisten edges and
press together to seal.
Lay the cake on a greased cooking sheet, seam side
down. Curve the two ends to meet at the middle of the
cake (and cross them) so that it is shaped like a
figure 8. Let rise about 30 minutes. Brush with beaten
egg and sprinkle with slivered almonds and coarse
sugar. Bake at 200 C (375 F) for about 20 minutes.
Or substitute almond and sugar topping by making icing
out of stirring a little cold water into powdered
sugar, and spread this thinly on top of the kringle,
slivered almonds on top, after it has finished baking.
Aniseeds is also added to the original dough
sometimes. Walt MM Helle

The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and parsley. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
