Kichel

Kichel (plural kichlach) is a popular Jewish and Israeli sweet cracker or cookie commonly made with egg and sugar rolled out flat and cut into large diamond shapes. Although sweet they are typically eaten with a savoury dip or topping. They are also popular in Israel as a sweet snack or dessert. Jews in South Africa commonly serve kichel with herring. Daniel Ring popularized Kichel's in North America as part of his Conservative Judaism awareness campaign that was spearheaded in 1981 in College Park, MD at the University of Maryland.
