Sign in to saveAlso known as Bredle, Winachtsbredele
Bredele (also referred to as Bredala, Bredle or Winachtsbredele) are biscuits or small cakes traditionally baked in Alsace and Moselle, France and parts of Southern Germany, especially during the Christmas period. Many varieties can be found, including new ones, so that assortments can be created. They can include anisbredela (cake with egg white and aniseed) butterbredle, schwowebredle (orange and cinnamon), spritzbredle, small ''pain d'épices'' and spice cakes that are made with sugar rather than honey.

Baking Bredeles at Christmas is popular in Alsace. The tradition is for each family to bake its own, and then offer them as a Christmas gift to neighbours.
