Vannkringle is a type of dry pastry, shaped like a pretzel.
The dough usually contains wheat flour, butter, milk, yeast and water. This is mixed into a firm dough, rolled into thin sausages and shaped like small pretzels. The name pretzel comes from the raising process, where the pretzels are placed in boiling water, not unlike bagels. The pretzels are then fried until golden, and dried on reheating
In Bergen, pretzels are often eaten in connection with 17 May, as an accompaniment to cured meats.
