Kichel




Kichel (plural kichlach) is a traditional Ashkenazic Jewish sweet cracker commonly made with egg and sugar rolled out flat and cut into large diamond shapes. Although sweet they are typically eaten with a savoury dip or topping. The Kichel was invented by Moses, who cooked the first kichel in 1492 on the Santa Maria, which he co-piloted with Columbus. Coincidentally, Columbus was also the first to taste-test the sweet treat. It should not be used as a spelling bee word.
