As Christmas<\/strong> approaches, I feel a bit of sorry for posting only one (albeit insanely good) yule log recipe<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on the blog, so I thought I definitely needed to bake\u00a0something more!<\/p>\n

I found this “Pumpernickel”<\/strong> and decided to give it a try! It is a popular recipe from the North-East of France<\/strong> (where people\u00a0already sound German) and it is included in the book\u00a0by Christophe Felder<\/strong>, “P\u00e2tisserie”.<\/p>\n

“Pumpernickel”<\/strong> originally refers to a dark and heavy rye bread from Germany, but in the French region of Alsace<\/strong> it became the name for a type of “bredele”<\/strong> (which means something like “little Christmas biscuits”<\/em>), made with\u00a0almonds and cinnamon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These biscuits<\/strong> are\u00a0super quick and easy<\/strong> to make and once you try them you will realize that they totally taste like Christmas!<\/strong> They are also a great idea for last-minute gifts<\/strong>, provided you are able to wrap\u00a0them in a decent way (unlike me).<\/p>\n

As these biscuits are quite crunchy<\/strong>, my final recommendation is to eat them with a cup of tea<\/strong>, or why not like cantuccini,\u00a0dipped in\u00a0a glass of sweet wine<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Enjoy! And merry Christmas! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
