In German-speaking Europe, Christmas biscuits are a very important part of this festive season. Every region has its own types of biscuits.
In Switzerland, the ‘Mailänderli’ or ‘gâteau de milan’ is the most commonly baked and eaten Christmas biscuit. What this biscuit has to do with Milan is unknown. In any case, this biscuit is not known in Italy.
It is my husband's favourite Christmas biscuit and the design for this year's Christmas card.
