Talk:Pfeffernüsse

message: Another version of this is pepernoten (Dutch)... at least I think it's the same thing. They're not typically rolled in sugar, though, and bear a strong visual resemblance to dog crunchies.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.123.194.74 (talk • contribs) 10:02, December 13, 2006‎

replies: text: I'd love to know what you think pfeffernusse or pepernoten are.  What I have known all my life as peppernuts are dark brown cookies about an inch in diameter that are crunchy/hard and contain anise flavoring.  When I do a Google image search for "peppernuts" I get hundreds of pictures that exactly match my experience.  The Kruitnoten seems to be simply a different name for the same thing, or else it is similar but without the anise.  Am I wrong?  Is there anyone who has had them coated in powdered sugar or anything even remotely similar to that photo in the article?--Exaybachay (talk) 02:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Pfeffernuesse usually don't contain black pepper.
The are called "pfeffer" because in the midle age people refered to most exotic spices as "pfeffer"
The name of the pfeffernuesse, and other dishes containing the name pfeffer, is still kept because of tradition.
They usually contain stuff like nutmag or cardamom, wich both have been called "pfeffer" in the old times.
Also they are rarely found in that choclate variation. Usually they are still tradionally made without choclate.
And the word Eiweissgebäck doesn't reffer to pfeffernuesse themselfs.
Eiweissgebäck reffers to anything made from a dough that is mainly based on egg whites. There are several different things wich are eiweissgebäck.
Whil pfeffernuesse are actually one of them, its still not a name for them.
My references are not only the German Wikipedia and all Recipe Books i own.
I'm also a trained cheff, like my father is and my grandmother was. I also started being trained as a pâtissier, but stopped after 2 years --95.88.233.19 (talk) 11:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose that this article and Pepernoot be combined.  They are clearly different spellings of the same thing.  There should also be clarification about whether Kruidnoten is the same, and if not, in what ways they differ. --Exaybachay (talk) 03:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combination with Article "Pepernoot" 

message: In the article, pfeffernüsse are described both as cookies and biscuits.  Please pick one term and stick to it!  JDZeff (talk) 07:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: When the article was created in 2006 it used "cookie", which stuck for several months, so per MOS:RETAIN I've switched all uses to that. A case could also be made that since the only English-language connection made in the article is to American Mennonites, that would be the applicable regional term. Since the sources for that connection include "blogspot" and "wordpress" a lot, I'm not confident that would hold up to closer inspection but it's better than nothing.

thread_title:  Cookies or biscuits? 

message: Is it a good idea to mention the singular form in the beginning of the article? That could be helpful for non-German speakers, such as myself. I thought of doing something like: "Pfeffernüsse (singular Pfeffernuss) are tiny spice cookies...".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guissoares (talk • contribs) 14:37, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

message: This article states: "Leavening agents such as baking powder, baking soda, potassium carbonate, or ammonium carbonate get the sticky and dense consistency of the original mixture." What exactly is meant here? As written, it doesn't make too much sense....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:4280:A710:C410:6387:ACDC:B0CA (talk) 20:23, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huh? 

message: This book  (Vollständiges handbuch der neuesten erdbeschreibung, Volume 9
by Adam Christian Gaspari, p. 720) says something like 
Berühmt sind die Kastrierter Pfefferkuchen (movon die feinster Sorte Peiligmaker und die großen Pfeffernüsse Moppen oder Moffen heißen), welche weit und breit ausgesürt werken.
Though I had some difficulty as a non-German-speaker interpreting a few of the letters in scanned fraktur script.  
Machine translation gives 
Famous are the castrated gingerbreads (movon the finest variety Peiligmaker and the large pepper nuts are called Moppen or Moffen), which are filled out far and wide.
