A Franzbrötchen (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁantsˌbʁøːtçɛn]) is a small sweet pastry baked with butter and cinnamon. Sometimes other ingredients are used as well such as chocolate or raisins. It is a type of pastry commonly found in northern Germany especially Hamburg and it is usually served for breakfast but is also enjoyed along with coffee and cake. As its name indicates the Franzbrötchen was probably inspired by French pastries.
