About Laugenecke

Though relatively high in carbohydrates and fat, it also offers dietary fiber and small amounts of calcium and iron. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item, Laugenecken can be eaten plain or filled with toppings like cheese, ham, or butter, making them a versatile baked good in German cuisine.
