Ingredients
- For the Kringle:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, chilled
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup sour cherry jam
- For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
-
1.
In a small bowl mix together sour cream and vanilla. Set aside.
-
2.
Using a pastry blender or (several pulses with a food processor) cut together flour and butter so butter is reduced to small pea-sized bits. Stir in sour cream mixture. Blend well to form a dough. Divide into two disks. Flatten disks slightly, cover and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.

3.
Preheat oven to 450°F. In a small bowl whisk together egg and sugar. Set aside. On a floured work surface, roll out each dough disk into a 12 by 6 inch rectangle. Spread filling down center in a thin strip leaving two inches clear on each side and an inch and a half at both ends. Fold sides over center then fold ends up, press lightly to seal. Brush with egg wash.
