Kringle (/ˈkrɪŋɡəl/, 
listen ) is a Scandinavian pastry, a Nordic variety of pretzel. Pretzels were introduced by Roman Catholic monks in the 13th century in Denmark, and from here it spread throughout Scandinavia and evolved further into several kinds of sweet, salty or filled pastries, all in the shape of kringle.
In Danish and Norwegian, the word is kringle, plural kringler; Estonian: kringel, plural kringlid; Swedish: kringla, plural kringlor; Icelandic: kringla plural kringlur, Faroese: kringla plural kringlur; Finnish: rinkeli; and German: Kringel. The word originates from the Old Norse kringla, meaning ring or circle.
