history

Nuremberg cookbook , 1691, presentation of the fictional author

In Nürnbergischen cookbook one is model described "The model for these Muscatzinen is commonly as Zwey together with the wide part pellent Jacobs = shells, then cut into the vereingten with a collar middle." And is a reference to the scallop .

The name Muskatzine appears for the first time in D. Johann Georg Krünitz's economic = technical encyclopedia from 1805, through the reproduction of two recipes .

In 1837, two recipes for Muskaziny and with bowls were described on pages 169 and 170 in the Altadeliges Bavarian Cookery and Confectionery Book and it was indicated that these are also available in stores under the name Muschcatciner .

Preparation and ingredients

The ingredients such as honey, almonds, nuts and sugar are made into a mixture by adding nutmeg and, if necessary, nutmeg, which give the product its name. After adding flour and eggs, all the ingredients are processed into a dough and pressed into a model that is sprinkled with sugar beforehand to prevent it from sticking.

In Marianne Strüf's 1838 cookbook, muskrat was added as a spice when making muskaziny (Viennese confectionery).
