The hard part of baking those...[edit]

"Unlike other pastries, this particular kind is difficult to bake. The batter used when hardened is very fragile. It takes a skilled pair of hands to create the “kipferl” or the horse–shoe shape without breaking the biscuit." It's not that hard. My sister and I have been doing it since age 10. The difficult part is dipping the biscuits in the vanilla sugar while they are still warm, that's when they break really easily.--88.65.71.108 (talk) 22:17, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source of the shape[edit]

They are said to have been created in the shape of the Turkish crescent moon symbolizing[2] the celebration of the victory of the Hungarian army over the Turkish in one of the many wars between the nations.

Is there any source on this? This sounds incredibly strange and much like something that someone was told by their grandparents. 31.16.3.122 (talk) 11:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
