Beigl – a traditional Snack in the fasting period

, , , ,

Beigl is an Austrian speciality in the fasting season. Very much enjoyed by children as an afternoon “teatime” snack instead of something sweet.

Beigl goes well to wine or beer too.

Beigl taste best freshly baked – on the outside crisp on the inside soft. On the next day a bit of chewing is needed… but it’s fasting season. 😉

This is my own recipe, which is close to the taste I remember as a child.
