struwen (german yeast pancakes)
(1 rating)
This used to be the traditional lunch on Good Friday in the Westmunsterland (Germany). The pancakes are eaten immediately, and any leftovers were eaten cold in the evening. Traditionally, dinner is eaten on midday in Germany, so this actually was the cooked dinner on midday, and the cold leftovers were eaten instead of sandwiches or buckwheat pancakes in the evening.
