    Schenkele - literally "little thighs" in Alsatian - are one of the most original Christmas biscuit specialities of Alsace. Unlike oven-baked Bredele, these small roll-shaped biscuits are fried in oil then rolled in vanilla sugar or cinnamon. Crispy on the outside, soft and almond-scented on the inside, they always surprise the uninitiated with their unique texture and irresistible flavour. An ancestral recipe absolutely worth rediscovering during Advent.
