Nonnevot is a Limburgian pastry dating back to the 17th century. Hailing from the town of Sittard the pastry has traditionally been associated with carnival (Limburgian: Vastelaovend) but is nowadays sold year-round in regional bakeries. Its name: nonnevot or nun’s buttocks comes from the knotted shape of the pastry resembling the knot on the back of a nun’s tunic. The nonnevot is prepared through deep-frying a mixture of flour yeast milk salt butter brown sugar and lard.
