Next Door LadyS Kringla Norwegian - liquids

Method

• Beat all the liquids together well in a large bowl.
• Mix the dry ingredients together well in a medium bowl.
• Add dry ingredients to liquids.
• Then add either the vanilla or lemon extract.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Set oven to preheat at 400 degrees.
• The dough is very sticky.
• Using a tablespoon, scoop out about a'golf ball size' spoonful of dough.
• Having your counter or bread board covered with flour (it takes quite a bit to avoid having it stick -- ), drop the spoonful onto the flour and roll it enough to get all the outside coated with a thin film of flour.
• Then roll the dough like a thin (1/2" thick or slightly less) rope.
• Putting the rope on your pre-greased cookie sheet, twist the ends over one another one time.
• Bring the loop at the top down over the twisted ends.
• That should make the shape you want (a figure eight shape).
• Put about 12 on each cookie sheet, and begin baking.
• Put the first cookie sheet on the lower (not at the lowest level, though) rack in your oven.
• Bake for 6 minutes (be exact -- she set a timer!) then transfer that sheet to the top rack of your oven (if you have an electric oven with the broiler on top, don't put them very close to the heat).
• Bake another 6 minutes (exact -- ) and take them out.
• They should be lightly browned on both the top and the bottom, if you have the correct temperature in your oven.
