High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pfeffernusse (also spelled pfeffernuesse in English, in Danish: pebern dder (plural), papanat in Plautdietsch, and pepernoten in Dutch; singular Pfeffernuss) are small, hard, round biscuits with ground nuts. The name translates to pepper nuts in German, Danish and Dutch, describing their spicy taste as well as the fact that many recipes actually call for almonds or walnuts. Despite the name they do not necessarily contain black pepper. Pepernoten are originally a Dutch treat, baked during 'Sinterklaas', a feast on 5 December (6 December in Belgium and Germany) on which little children receive gifts from the holy St. Nicholas, the partial inspiration for Santa Claus. In Germany, Pfeffernusse are traditionally made during the Christmas season. Recipes often call for the dough to be rounded into a ball. Today they are sometimes produced with a chocolate base.
