3. 3

   Add flour mixture to sugar/cream/buttermilk mixture.

   Knead to right consistency. (A dough hook on a stand mixer works well.).

   Drop by teaspoonfuls on floured surface.

7. 7

   Roll dough pieces in flour before shaping each one into a 6-inch "snake".

   Fold ends of snake around to make a figure 8.

   Bake the kringla at 500 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes.

    After the kringla is cool, store in an airtight container.
