The Original O&H Danish Kringle is a wonderful butter layered Danish pastry that was first introduced to Racine and southeast Wisconsin in the late 1800’s by Danish immigrant bakers. In its original form, it was a pretzel shaped, almond filled coffee cake. Over the years, different fruit and nut fillings were introduced to offer variety. Later, at customer request, the overlapping, “pretzel-twist” was eliminated, and it has kept its present oval-shape ever since. At O&H Danish Bakery, creation of the authentic butter layered pastry has never been compromised. The labor intensive three-day process required to create it results in the light, tender, flaky and flavorful pastry the original bakers intended.
