Schnecken are a type of pastry popular in German-speaking countries. They are typically made from a sweet yeast dough that is rolled out, spread with ingredients like cinnamon, sugar, or chocolate, and then rolled up into a spiral shape. After baking, they often have a soft, fluffy texture and a sweet, aromatic flavor. These pastries can be enjoyed as a dessert or a snack and are often served with coffee or tea. Schnecken can also be found in various regional variations, sometimes incorporating nuts, fruits, or icing, making them a versatile treat for different tastes.
