Bethmännchen

Bethmännchen
Bethmännchen (German for "a little Bethmann") is a pastry made from marzipan with almond, powdered sugar, rosewater, flour, and egg. It is usually baked for Christmas.

The name is given from the family of Simon Moritz von Bethmann in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).

Legend has it that Parisian pastry chef Jean Jacques Gautenier developed the recipe at his home in 1838.
