To burn it off
A Weckmann is a little man made of sweet yeast dough, with raisin eyes and a small clay pipe, sold in German bakeries around St Martin's Day on 11 November. Depending on the region he is also a Stutenkerl or a Grittibänz, and children get one after the lantern walk.
One is about 300 kcal, with 52 g of carbs, 8 g of protein and 6 g of fat. It is a soft milk bread, closer to a brioche roll than a cake.
Do not eat the pipe. That is the only rule.
Tips
- 1Share one with a child after the lantern walk. Half is 150 and you still get the head.
- 2Have it for breakfast with coffee instead of a pastry on top of breakfast.
