Kringlas

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

• Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in egg and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
• Add buttermilk to batter alternately with the dry ingredients.
  
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pull off pieces of dough and roll into 6" strips (about 1/2" thick) on a lightly floured surface. Shape strips into a figure 8.  I have found it helpful to put the bowl of dough back into the refrigerator between batches, as the warmer it gets the stickier it gets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom.
