Schillerlocke (pastries)
Schillerlocken , also known as foam rolls in Austria , are bag- or roll-shaped pastries made from puff pastry that are sweetened with whipped cream or cream, unsweetened with ragouts , salads or purees .
To make it, thin strips of puff pastry, about three centimeters wide, are wrapped in a spiral around cone-shaped metal sleeves, coated with ice cream and baked. The sweet version is often tossed in powdered sugar before baking or, without ice cream, in powdered sugar.
The name Schillerlocke goes back to the portrait of Friedrich Schiller created by Anton Graff between 1786 and 1791 . The portrait shows Friedrich Schiller with his blond curls sitting at a table in a relatively casual pose. This portrait, which is now in the Kügelgenhaus in Dresden, was often copied and was also widely used as a copper engraving , which resulted in the name of the Schillerlocke in public.
Schiller's locks are much more evident in other portraits than in Graff's portrait, for example in the bust of Johann Heinrich Dannecker from 1806.
