What do people enjoy eating in the pre-Christmas period in Luxembourg? Boxemännchen, or little brioche men. These small man-shaped breads are made of fine brioche and are very popular with both children and adults. They often find their way onto the gift plates for St. Nicholas' day and are one of the traditional signs that Christmas is approaching. Would you like to bake some of these little fellows yourself? We asked author and cook Maischi Tibesart for her recipe, which we are now able to share with you here.
If you are in Luxembourg during the pre-Christmas period, you will find them on display in every bakery: little men made of brioche dough, decorated with sultanas, sweets or a pipe. These are the Boxemännchen, which for many children represent the joy of St Nicholas' day and Christmas, and are an essential part of any gift or breakfast plate.
