Verwurelter or verwurrelter,[1][2] also known as fueskichelcher,[3] are traditional Luxembourg deep-fried pastry knots. They are most commonly served during the Fuesent carnival season in Luxembourg,[2][1][4][5] which runs from the beginning of February and continues in some areas through the end of March.[2][1][6] The literal meaning of verwurelter is "the messy ones".[7]

Composition[edit]

Verwurelter dough is made from mixing warm milk, yeast, sugar, and flour together.[2] Often the dough is left to rise, before eggs, butter, salt, and the remaining sugar is mixed in to create a smooth, malleable dough.[citation needed]

The dough is then portioned into slices that are twisted into knots before deep-frying.[8] When cooled, verwurelter are dusted with powdered sugar or granulated sugar.[2][8]
