About Those Kringles-- Part 1: From Denmark

From the December 10, 2017, Chicago Tribune "Kringle-makers sweeten holiday season in Racine" by Jay Jones.

"4 bakeries in Wisconsin city meet soaring demand in December for flaky, buttery pastry with fillings."

In America's Dairyland (sorry California), state legislators have declared milk, not beer, as the official state beverage, it's only right that the official pastry, kringle, contains lots of butter.  And, it does.

In case you don'y know what a kringle is, it consists of dozens of layers of incredibly thin pastry infused with a huge array of fillings.  These were originally made in Denmark in the mid-19th century.  Danish immigrants brought it along as they came t this southeastern Wisconsin City which they called Little Copenhagen.
