Carnival cakes without frying

Fasnachtschüechli, Herbstchüechli or whatever the wafer-thin, sweet and crumbly pastry is called, people love it at different times of the year. Today we'll tell you how you can make similar pastries yourself.


Pastries that are deep-fried end up with a lot of flavor and a lot of fat. In addition, unless you fry outside, the kitchen will smell very strongly of hot fat later on. This doesn't have to be the case. Let our idea inspire you.

This is what you need for 24 small carnival cakes:
Two ready-made and rolled out strudel doughs from the supermarket, four to six tablespoons of HOLL rapeseed or olive oil and four tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Important notes on the finished strudel dough:
The dough, which is already rolled out wafer-thin, usually consists of flour, potato starch, sugar, a little oil and spices. Due to the low moisture content, the dough is very dry and becomes brittle very quickly when exposed to air. So that you can shape the dough to your liking, it is worth taking it out of the foil just before use. If you spread the dough out on a damp cloth, it will dry out less quickly. Be careful, the cloth should not be wet, otherwise the fine layers will stick together and won't be easy to shape.

How to prepare the cakes:
Prepare two baking trays lined with baking paper, the ingredients, a brush, a knife and a fine sieve for the powdered sugar. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees fan. Open the strudel dough, unfold the dough sheets and brush the first sheet with oil. Sieve about a quarter of the powdered sugar over it and then place the second pastry sheet on the sugared side. Brush this with the oil again in exactly the same way and dust it with the sugar. Now cut out twelve even rectangles, take the pieces and place them lightly draped on a prepared baking tray. Do exactly the same with the second pastry, also consisting of two sheets.
Bake the sweet pastry pieces for about five minutes until light brown and then enjoy.

When cooled, the crispy pastry also goes well with a fruity quark cream.

We wish you a good "Gebrösel".
