A streuselkuchen is usually a flat cake made on a baking tray and cut into oblong pieces. It should be flat – about thick – with crumbs making up about half of its height. The original version uses yeast dough, however a short crust is possible. A puff pastry at the bottom turns it into a prasselkuchen.
