Verwurelter or verwurrelter,[1][2] also known as fueskichelcher,[3] are traditional Luxembourg deep-fried pastry knots. They are most commonly served during the Fuesent carnival season in Luxembourg.[2][1][4][5] The literal meaning of verwurelter is "the messy ones".[6]
Composition[edit]
Verwurelter dough is made from mixing warm milk, yeast, sugar, and flour together.[2] Often the dough is left to rise before eggs, butter, salt, and the remaining sugar is mixed to create a smooth, malleable dough.[citation needed]
The dough is then portioned into slices that are twisted into knots before deep-frying.[7] When cooled, verwurelter are dusted with powdered sugar or granulated sugar.[2][7]

Fuesent, also known as Fuesecht, is a carnival season similar to Fasching that runs from the beginning of February and continues in some areas through the end of March.[2][1][8] It begins the day after the traditional celebration of Liichtmëssdaag, during which children, singing and carrying lanterns, go from door to door to get treats and money. As a snack, people eat verwurelter.[8][9][10]
