To prepare kringle:
Divide butter in half and spread each half on an 8-by-8-inch square of wax
paper. Chill.
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, lemon extract and
egg; mix well. Add flour and mix until smooth. Divide dough in half.
Roll half of dough on well-floured board to an 8-by-12-inch rectangle. Place 1
square of chilled butter on two-thirds of dough rectangle. Fold uncovered third
of dough over the middle third, then fold the remaining third over the top.
Again, fold one end over middle third and fold remaining third over top, making
a square of nine layers. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Roll dough again to an 8-by-12-inch rectangle. Add second square of chilled
butter and fold again as before. This makes 18 layers. Refrigerate dough 2
hours.
Cut dough into two equal pieces. Lightly roll one piece at a time, until piece
is about 20 by 6 inches. Spread center third of dough with half of prepared
butterscotch filling. Add 1/2-cup custard and optional raisins or jam. Fold one
of the long edges to the middle. Moisten other edge and fold over the top to
cover filling. Seal well.
Put kringle on greased baking sheet and form into oval or twist-crest shape,
pressing ends together to form continuous circle. Flatten dough slightly with
palms of hands.
Cover with wax paper and leave 1 hour at room temperature. Brush top with milk,
sprinkle with sugar and almonds and bake at 350�F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until
golden brown.
