Meels

Meels refers to a type of small, typically sweet or savory, baked good. Often made from dough or batter, meels can vary widely in ingredients and preparation methods. They are commonly enjoyed as snacks, desserts, or accompaniments to meals.

The term "meels" is a colloquial or regional one, and its specific definition can differ. In some contexts, it might be used to describe miniature versions of larger baked items, such as small cakes or biscuits.

The ingredients can range from flour, sugar, and eggs to fruits, nuts, and spices, depending on the desired flavor profile.

Meels are often baked in ovens, though some variations might be fried or steamed. Their small size makes them convenient for on-the-go consumption or as part of a sampler platter.
