2 1/2 cups sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS KRINGLA RECIPE
In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, egg, and sour cream.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the cream mixture and combine completely. Dough will be a little sticky.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Divide dough in half and return 1/2 to refrigerator.
On a floured surface, form dough into a 18″ long roll with your hands.
Cut off a narrow (1/2″ more or less) slice of dough. Roll lightly with hands on lightly floured board into a pencil width strip about 7-8″ long.
Create a figure 8 and pinch the ends together to fasten securely.
Place on lightly greased baking sheet or one topped with a silicone baking mat. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake 8-9 minutes or until just barely lightly golden.
