Hildesheimer Pumpernickel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broken pastry

The Hildesheimer Pumpernickel is a diamond-shaped biscuit . It is a specialty from Hildesheim that is sold all year round despite its Christmassy taste.

It is not to be confused with the whole grain bread pumpernickel . The biscuit gets its shape after baking the approx. 5 cm wide strands of dough, which are still hot.

According to a recipe from 1733, Hildesheim pumpernickels contain almonds , flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon and egg.

In 1893, the Hildesheimer Pumpernickel was mentioned in Volume 2 of the book Chemistry of Human Food and Beverage by Joseph König .

The invention of the biscuit recipe is claimed by several baker families within the city of Hildesheim. The biscuit should "taste like Aachener Printen". The cabaret artist and writer Manfred Hausin published grotesques under the title Hildesheimer Pumpernickel in 1988 .
