Würzige Bricelets/Bretzeli

Swiss traditional salty Wafers

Pane-Bistecca
Bricelets are fine thin cookies that can be made sweet or savory. Here is another recipe for spicy Bricelets/Bretzeli. You can already find the recipe for Spinat Bricelets. on my blog. The origin of this pastry is somewhere in Bern, Fribourg, and was already mentioned in 1373 in a writing in Burgdorf. For the traditional Bretzeli you need the right waffle iron, the Swiss one is quite patriotic, with Swiss cross design and more!

In the past you had to lift the heavy iron thing, by its long arms, on the fire, hard work! Today it’s electric, the modern waffle irons are foldable like a book.
