<\/p>\nCurrently it is Fasching, Karneval or Fasnacht in Germany. The name varies from region to region. During this Zeit (time) people dress in costumes, funny or traditional (at least different) and have a big party. There are parades, people sing and dance together\u2026and of course there\u00b4s a lot of alcohol. Maybe it\u00b4s a little bit vergleichbar (comparable) to American Halloween.<\/p>\n
The traditional Brauch (habit) was to scare and banish the winter with scary dresses like Hexen (witches) and Teufel (devils). And as often, traditions come along with special food. In southern Germany we have the Fasnachtsk\u00fcchle during this time. And only during this time!<\/p>\n
If you want to know what it is, just try it! Here\u00b4s the Rezept (recipe):<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What you need is:<\/strong><\/p>\n – 500 g of Mehl (flour) Zubereitung (Preparation)<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a big preheated Tasse (cup), fill it with 4 tablespoons of lukewarm milk, 1 tablespoon of flour and the crumbled yeast and stir it. Leave it at a warm place for approx. 20 minutes until the sponge is ready. Now mix everything (the sponge as well) with the dough hook of your kitchen machine until it gets bubbles and easily releases itself from the bowl. Leave the Teig (dough) in the bowl, cover it with a towel or something similar and let it rest at a warm place for another 30 to 40 minutes. Guten Appetit!<\/strong> Vocabulary:<\/p>\n Zeit \u2013 time Currently it is Fasching, Karneval or Fasnacht in Germany. The name varies from region to region.

\n– \u00bd cube of Hefe (yeast)
\n– 50 g of Zucker (sugar, maybe powdered)

\nPut some flour on a Holzbrett (wooden board) and roll out the dough until it\u00b4s approximately as thick as a finger. Take a glass with a diameter of circa 5 cm and cut the Fasnachtsk\u00fcchle out of the dough. Cook them in the concentrated butter until they get a golden brown color. When they\u00b4re finished put some powdered sugar on them. That\u00b4s it!<\/p>\n
