A German Cooking question ?

Question

I am pretty sure this is not the correct spelling for it....
but it is pronouced as I spell it.........

Key cal....... its German the pronoucation of it.

Grandma was from Germany.....

When she made bread she always took some dough and cut it mostly into triangles and then deep fried it and then put sugar on it.

Does anyone speak German and know any thing about German cooking...... Has anyone ever heard of it?

is there a German Cookbook with it in the book?

Thanks to all ...... Carol in OHIO

It could be either a Stutenkerl (see pic here : http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Klausenmann.jpg)
or, more likely, Kipperl (Vanillekipperl or Vanillekipferl, pic:
