Streuselkuchen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Streuselkuchen (crumb cake) is a German speciality. Traditionally it is made of a yeast dough covered with crumbs. The main ingredients for the crumbs are flour, sugar, and butter.
The recipe originated from Silesia, a province that is nowadays in Western Poland, but this cake is found everywhere today. To make it, you would prepare a sweet yeast based dough, let it develop and spread it thinly onto a baking sheet. Spread liberally with crumbs. These have a tendency to roll off, so you might wish to make them stick using sugar or honey diluted in some warm water. Bake, temperature and setting depending on thickness. Many variants are known, with various fillings such as creme and fruits, or using a shortening - based dough.
