Holiday Stollens at the Shepherdstown Sweet Shop

November, 2020 Tagged With: Christmas, Stollen

Our signature specialty, Holiday Stollen, dates back to 14th-century Germany. We make our stollen entirely by hand in small batches. Our unique recipe uses rum-soaked raisins, dates, and pecans added to a dough of sweet butter and specially spiced flour. The mix is cut into rough loaves, hand-shaped, and wrapped around a marzipan center, then baked to a golden brown. When cooled, each loaf is brushed with melted butter and rolled in sugar, then placed onto trays to rest. To finish, we roll the stollen in Neu Schnee, or New Snow sugar.

Call or stop by the store to purchase or order online and we will ship your stollen, with your personal greeting, to arrive on your specified date. Please visit our store to see all the other delicious pastries & breads we have to offer.

Hours: Beginning Nov. 27 — Mon-Thurs 9 am to 5pm, Fri-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 9am-4pm

Addresss: 100 W German St, Shepherdstown

Phone: (304) 876-2432
