Rullekes
Rullekes even Rullerkes ( East Frisian Low Saxon or Low German for rolls ), Neeijahrskook ( New Year cake ) or Krüllkoken ( roll cake called) are an East Frisian pastries that traditionally for tea on New Year's Eve and New Year will be served.
It is a firm, shaped, sweet waffle cone that is prepared and consumed at the turn of the year. The dough consists of flour, butter, eggs, water and sugar ( rock candy ). It also contains cardamom and aniseed as a specialty . In the past, the dough was baked in special waffle irons over an open fire and then shaped into a conical bag with the help of a round stick. The inside of the waffle irons was often decorated with ornate motifs, the monograms of the owner or ( pious ) sayings that penetrated the pastry (similar to wafers ). With the introduction of electricity in the early 20th century, the first electric waffle makers hit the market. Today these are also known as dat olle Iesder , the old iron. Today, rullekes are usually made using electric waffle irons.
Since fresh rullekes are crispy, they can make significant noise when consumed - which is by design. For this reason they are also known as Beck vull Schandaal ( mouth full of noise ).
In some places rullekes are eaten filled with whipped cream .
