What is a bredele?

Called bredele in the Bas-Rhin (67) and bredala in the Haut-Rhin (68), this Alsatian term refers to small sweet shortbread biscuits. Particularly popular at Christmas time – when they are sold on all the small Christmas markets in the region – they are very popular with all Alsatians. Even if the battle continues between the two Alsatian departments, the love for these small cakes is unanimous!

 

Traditionally, they are made from flour, butter, sugar and milk. This is why they can also be called butterbredeles.
