- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Lightly grease or line baking trays with baking parchment.
- Combine the sugar, beaten egg and soured cream together. Mix in the flour, bicarb and salt. Blend thoroughly.
- Divide dough in half and form each half into a long roll. (Note: If your kitchen is warm, keep the half of dough you're not working with in the refrigerator.)
- Cut off a narrow slice of dough. Roll lightly with hands on lightly floured board into pencil-like strip about 20cm long. Form into a figure '8', and pinch ends together. Place on baking tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 for 12 to 15 minutes.

My grandmother used to make Kringla every Christmas. When she was unable to bake anymore, my sisters and I decided to carry on the tradition by baking our own Kringla. My sister found this recipe and we both think it is wonderful! It's just like Grandma's Kringla! - 23 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
