crusty Explanation: Krüstchen derives from the word Kruste which means crust. The ending "chen" is added when something is small or when it is just a little bit of it. In this case it would mean that it is slightly crusty or you bake until a small crust shows. |

petite crust Explanation: Crusty, as the previous answer suggested is the adjectiv, not the noun as in this case, to Kruste or crust. With '~chen' being the diminutive form of nouns I suggest petite crust for a context like '"Kruestchen" Schnitzel auf Toast mit gerahmten Champignons, Spiegelei und Salatgarnitur'. There may be a more technical translation (any cooks out there?), but this would suffice as a first approach. I'm getting hungry as we speak. Reference: http://www.gasthof-becker.com/speisenk.htm |

Delicate crust Explanation: Without additional context, especially an idea of what it is which will have the Krüstchen, I offer "delicate crust". Something is being baked or otherwise prepared just long enough to form just the merest hint of a crust, hence the use of the diminutive. Another possibility is "crispy". Whatever it is, send the recipe! Anka A. |
