A Pickert is a flat, fried or baked potato dumpling from Germany. It comes as a round Pfannenpickert the size of a pan, a rectangular Kastenpickert or palm-sized regular Pickerts.
The principal ingredients are grated potatoes, flour, milk, eggs, and (usually) raisins, with a little yeast, salt and sugar, and oil for the baking. Three big potatoes produce 10-15 palm-sized pickerts, enough for 4-5 people. Template:Cookbook Pickerts are a speciality of the district of Lippe, where they developed from a traditional meal for the poorer people. They are now served spread with syrup or plum jam, or even leberwurst.
