This recipe is from France , Alsace.
This typical Alsatian homemade hazelnut pie has a thick and crusty pie bottom and needs to rest over the night to get the right consistence. This pie is a good idea as a dessert to end an Alsatian evening after some tarte flambées (which you can also find on this webpage).
This is a homemade recipe of the classical Alsatian Christmas cookies bredele with hazelnuts. They are so easy and delicious, so it is almost impossible not to prepare twice as many the next time you make them. You can make them in any shape you like but the flat round ones are the typical way to make them.
This sweet French beignet is a deep-fried choux pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar and has a round shape. The taste is more like a cake than the English and American fritter version and by the way is not round but square. This recipe uses yeast and there by it makes this beignet to a boule de Berlin.
