Sourdough Cardamom Raspberry Kringle
Prep Time: 20 mins + rising time | Cook Time: 18 mins | Course: Breakfast | Yield: 2 kringles
Sourdough and sour cream make this delicate dough with almost flaky layers a delight to work with. Filled with homemade raspberry jam, or you could use commercial jam, or apple or pumpkin butter; get creative. You could leave it in a rectangle or after folding the dough over the jam; form it into a circle. You could omit the cardamom and fragrance the dough instead with lemon zest.

3 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp cardamom (or lemon zest)
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup sourdough
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Egg wash:
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
Raspberry Jam:
12 oz raspberries, thawed if frozen
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp cardamom, optional
½ lemon, juiced
Lemon Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
½ lemon, juiced
In a stand mixer, mix flour, sugar, cardamom, salt, and butter together until the mixture looks a bit shaggy. Add the sour cream, sourdough, eggs, and vanilla. Mix for about 1 minute. Scrape the dough into a gallon bag and leave it to rise overnight, either in the fridge or on the counter.
In a saucepan mix the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, cardamom, and lemon juice together over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until the raspberries are bubbly and have thickened. Refrigerate until needed.
Preheat oven to 450*. When the dough has risen to nearly double, scrape the dough onto a lightly floured rolling surface. Cut the dough in half; if not making two kringles, store one in the fridge or freezer in a gallon zip bag. Using a rolling pin, roll kringle dough into a rectangle about 12x6 inches. Spread half of the raspberry jam over half of the rectangle lengthwise. Fold the dough over the jam half and roll slightly under to create a seal. Pinch ends together tightly or form a circle before pinching ends together. Transfer to a silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat egg and water with a fork and brush lightly over the dough. Bake for 10-15 minutes, the kringle will be a beautiful golden brown color
Whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Using a spoon, drizzle the icing over the warm kringle.
