Squiggles

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kringel is a rolled yeast pastry with a filling made from butter flakes, cinnamon and sugar. Some recipes call for plum jam or nut nougat cream to be added to the filling to make the donut more juicy. The donut is bent in one piece into a semicircle, baked and only cut into slices for consumption.

In Siegerland , the so-called grenge are baked, which usually also contain raisins. In northern Germany, e.g. B. in Lübeck , Kringel is also the name for pretzel .

The name Kringel for the yeast pastry is likely to be traced back to the other meaning of the word, which has been documented since the 13th century, as a description of a small, approximately circular structure.
