Verwurelter or verwurrelter, [1] [2] also known as fueskichelcher, [3] are traditional Luxembourg deep-fried pastry knots. They are most commonly served during the Fuesent carnival season in Luxembourg, [2] [1] [4] [5] which runs from the beginning of February and continues in some areas through the end of March. [2] [1] [6] The literal meaning of verwurelter is "the messy ones". [7]

Composition

Verwurelter dough is made from mixing warm milk, yeast, sugar, and flour together. [2] Often the dough is left to rise, before eggs, butter, salt, and the remaining sugar is mixed in to create a smooth, malleable dough.[ citation needed ]

The dough is then portioned into slices that are twisted into knots before deep-frying. [8] When cooled, verwurelter are dusted with powdered sugar or granulated sugar. [2] [8]
