Bethmännchen (German for "a little Bethmann") is a pastry made from marzipan with almond, powdered sugar, rosewater, flour and egg which is usually specially baked for Christmas.
The name is given from the family of Simon Moritz von Bethmann in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).
Legend has it that Parisian pastry chef Jean Jacques Gautenier developed the recipe at his home in 1838.
