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. —Connie Vjestica, Brookfield, Illinois

Pecan Kringle Sticks

Prep Time 40 min
Cook Time 20 min
Yield 4 kringles (6 servings each)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • FILLING:
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ICING:
  • 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  1. Place flour in a large bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream. Shape into a disk (the mixture will be crumbly). Wrap and refrigerate dough overnight.
  2. In a small bowl, beat egg white and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in pecans.
  3. Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll 1 portion into a 12x6-in. rectangle; place on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet (keep remaining dough refrigerated). Spread a fourth of the filling lengthwise down the center. Fold in sides of pastry to meet in the center; pinch seam to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  4. Bake at 375° until lightly browned, 18-22 minutes. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over pastries.
