A dear reader told me last year about a speciality in the north-western Part of germany: Campingwecken (lit. Camping rolls). She descripted it as a roll filled with a mixture of roasted almonds and pearl sugar. I was intrigued and started researching. It seemed, that the variant with almond is a rare one, more commenly is a variant with only pearl sugar. I even found a bakery who offered this kind of rolls in the city of Leer in our last vacation in East Frisia, so I could try this roll.
But as I I’m a curios person, I wanted to eat the almond version as well. And so today I have now Campingwecken in both variants for you!
A sweet treat which seems to be perfect for Easter Sunday breakfast is the traditional Aachener Streuselbrötchen (Streusel rolls from Aachen). They stem – as the name suggested – from Aachen and are not known above the city borders. And that is a pity, as they are so delicious, especially if you are a devoted streusel lover like I am. So I try today to get these rolls the national (or even international) attention they should have.
