The ingredients that streusel topping are made of include flour, sugar and butter and also sometimes spices and chopped nuts are added.
In German the word Strudel means "Whirlpool". The pastry is called strudel because it resembles a whirlpool when cut to reveal its thin sheet of dough rolled around the filling. Warm Apple Strudel, though traditionally Viennese, is also popular in Southern Germany, so it stands to reason that it should be all flaky and awesome and everywhere, like croissants in Paris, yes? This, sadly, was not my experience. While it was everywhere, it was a disappointment most places.
The saddest strudel was this one from Kamps a chain bakery store :. In fairness, this was a take-away strudel and we ate it cold because we had no microwave, but it tasted like, well, toaster strudel. It was warm and the ice cream was tasty, but the pastry was gummy rather than flaky. Ultimately unimpressive. We did have a pretty tasty strudel at Cafe Romantic Hauptstrasse , Heidelberg , which was kind of a dive.
The interior looked a little bit like a German-themed motel lobby circa and we had the place to ourselves in the middle of the afternoon perhaps that was the romantic part? The strudel was pretty good though--the layers were nice and delicate:. This was also where we had our best German fare of the week. We couldn't decide whether the place was a surprisingly good airport restaurant or the restaurants in Heidelberg are surprisingly mediocre probably a little of both--but that's another post.
In any event, this strudel was the only one I'd call great. Nice and flaky, and tasted like it was made in-house. Central Europe quickly adapted, and started making their own. In the beginning, it was an easy meal made by the poor. Hence, the whirlpool effect!
From onwards many types of strudel combinations were created. These include apple strudel, almond strudel, semolina strudel, rice strudel, quark strudel, grape strudel, and more! These can easily become a vegan snack or breakfast to enjoy as well!
