Basler Schoggitorf – Swiss Brownies

Pane-Bistecca

Basel Schoggitorf – Swiss brownies. I’m sure the Basel emigrants who went to America took their recipe with them, because this recipe is ancient! These are the original brownies that you can now find all over the world.

This Swiss treat is baked exclusively with Swiss chocolate and contains no nuts. For those with a gluten allergy, however, fine almond flour is used!

These “brownies” are very quick to make—and even quicker to eat! In our house, they’re gone before they’ve even cooled down!

This month, we’re traveling across the globe with Volkermampft’s Culinary World Tour, in search of cakes and pastries from around the world! Since I’m Swiss, I’m naturally bringing along a traditional and quintessentially Swiss pastry as well.
