Nonnevot

Nonnevot is a delightful traditional pastry from Limburg, with origins tracing back to the 17th century in the town of Sittard. Although it was originally enjoyed during carnival celebrations, it is now available in local bakeries throughout the year.

The name "nonnevot" translates to "nun's buttocks" inspired by its unique knotted shape, which resembles the knot on a nun's tunic. Making nonnevot involves a simple yet delicious mixture of flour, yeast, milk, salt, butter, brown sugar, and lard, which is then deep-fried to perfection.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply in the mood for a tasty treat, nonnevot is a pastry worth trying!
