Swedish, Norwegian....yadda, yadda, yadda. That's like saying "Its not from Washington state, is from British Columbia." Who cares where its from. Maybe the Swedes make it better than the Norwegians.

I'm so happy to find this recipe! My Norwegian step grandmother used to make them at Chrstmas. She passed a few years ago and I'm looking forward to having some part of her with us this year.

Both Swedes and Norwegians make this pastry; Swedes call it Kringla, Norwegians call it Kringle.
