📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Ziegerkrapfen are a traditional Liechtenstein sweet: Zieger, an aged cheese made from goat's milk, is sweetened, wrapped in dough, and fried. They're served at local festivals and harvest celebrations. The crisp outside and creamy cheese inside make a great contrast, and they're finished with powdered sugar.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a harvest festival stall in autumn, children watch as hot Ziegerkrapfen are dusted with powdered sugar.
