Hi Wendy,

Butter leaking during baking is common with Danish Kringle, so you didn’t necessarily do anything “wrong.”

But there are a few reasons why it might have happened more than expected:

If the long edge or ends of the dough weren’t pinched tightly, the filling and butter will escape as it melts.

If the dough warmed up while rolling/filling, the butter inside softens before baking, causing leakage.

Don’t worry if some butter leaks out—it happens even in bakeries. You can line the pan with parchment and even put an extra sheet pan underneath to catch drips. The pastry should still be flaky and delicious.

When baking the butter leaked out everywhere in the pan. What did I do wrong?

OMG, if you’ve never tried Kringle, you HAVE to make this recipe. My family and my work friends went absolutely crazy for it. The dough is super simple to make and work with. It’s so flaky, but dense and moist, and not too sweet. Perfect!

Absolutely amazing recipe. Made this for the first time over the holidays and everything about the recipe was clear to follow. The assembly was easy. I did up the butter and nuts a little bit. The whole kringle was delicious – the dough was flaky and light, the filling was sweet but not overly sweet, and it baked perfectly. I also followed the same recipe to make a fruit kringle for my husband, but that had some oozing issues. This lasted two weeks on the counter covered. I did make the icing with water instead of milk to keep it counter-stable. Will 100% make this again over buying our annual kringle.
