Other forms: strudels
Strudel is a delicious, flaky pastry. Most strudel has a sweet, fruity filling, and it's often dusted with powdered sugar.
Strudel comes from German-speaking Austria, and the word itself is also German—Strudel literally means "whirlpool or eddy," from the Old High German stredan, "bubble, boil, or whirl." In Vienna, the most common kind of strudel is Apfelstrudel, or "apple strudel." Other fillings include cherries, cheese, plum, and even sauerkraut. The pastry used to make strudel is traditionally rolled and stretched so thin that you can see through it.
