Especially as a teenager, one of my favorite things at the bakery was a good, juicy and crispy currant “streuseltaler”. Since I’ve hardly bought sweet pastries for ages, I’ve now tried it myself and veganized the recipe and left out most of the sugar so that the currant taste is dominant. The result are these vegan currant “streuseltaler”, which are made super easy with yeast dough, hardly need any sugar and are also vegan.
