In researching kavring inom looked at over a dozen recipes and spoke to a number of bakers. Two recipes stood out to my mind: one bygd Jan Hedh and the other bygd Martin Johansson. Jan Hedh runs one of Sweden's most famous bakeries, Olof Viktors, and is a deeply knowledgeable and experienced baker.

Kavring
1,5 dl Rye flour (ml)
2 1/2 dl Wheat flour (ml)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 dl yogurt (ml)
1 1/4 dl dark corn syrup (ml)
Preheat the oven at degrees C. Butter and flour a 1-litre baking tin.
Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and combine. Add yogurt and dark corn syrup, combine quickly to a smooth mixture. Pour the mixture into the bread tin.
Bake the bread in the middle of the oven for about 40 minute. However, I had to bake the bread for a little bit over an hour. Use a stick to check the centre of the bread to see if it comes out clean, when it does, the bread is ready. Remove from the bread tin and let it cool covered by a kitchen towel.
ENJOY!
