Little treats
Niggilan' pastries were originally baked for festivals and special occasions. They are simply sprinkled with icing sugar when served as a dessert.
Niggilan' pastries were originally baked for festivals and special occasions. They are simply sprinkled with icing sugar when served as a dessert.
Nowadays, they taste just as good as in the old days, even if they are only prepared on special occasions. In contrast with 'Kniekiachlan', native to Tauferer Ahrntal valley, 'Niggilan' have no filling. 'Kniekiechlan' usually have a hole in their middle usually filled with cranberry jam, or 'Grantn' in Pustertal dialect. This word comes from the Ladin word for cranberry – 'granëta'.
