Fasnachtschüechli

This stuff is awesome. This is a swiss dessert that is only available at this time of year for about 4 weeks ahead of the carnivale season. It is called "Fasnachtschüechli" in swiss german. It's a simple thing - thin fried batter with lots of powdered sugar on top. I can remember my swiss grandma making this for us when we were kids. I remember how funny it was to hear her say the name "fasnachtschüechli" - go ahead and try to say it yourself and see if you don't laugh too. It's a mouthful in more ways than one. To my brothers and sisters and mom: do you remember this treat that grandma made for us? It is a swiss tradition and available all over the country. Don't you want to try some? It's good!
