wendish noodles (traditional style)
Recipe compliments of the Wendish Heritage Society of Texas. The Wends are a Slavic sect from Lusaitia, now part of eastern Germany, who immigrated to Central Texas in 1854 to escape persecution by the Prussians. The settlers formed a community near Gidding, TX where they could speak their own language and practice their Lutheran faith. You can order pre-made noodles online from Weikel's Bakery, 2247 W State Hwy 71 Bypass, LaGrangeTX or at their website http://weikels.com/ All proceeds from sale of noodles goes to support and maintain the society
