Cardinal cuts
The Kardinalschnitte is a pastry from Austrian cuisine filled with currant jam . It is a creation of the Viennese pastry shop L. Heiner and was created on the occasion of the Catholic Day in 1933 to commemorate the colors of the Vatican (white / yellow) and the dignity of cardinals (red). Strips of biscuit and meringue are baked, turned over, coated with jam and folded together. Wrapped in baking paper, they are cooled and then cut into pieces. Cardinal slices have a very limited shelf life and taste best fresh.
