Fleischkuekle (also Fleischkuechle, from Alemannic/Franconian "Fleischküchle") is a type of meat pie made with dough, similar to a Cornish pasty, or Russian Chiburekki. The dish is traditional Volga Deutsche/Germans from Russia recipe, and through immigration became an addition to the Cuisine of North Dakota. It is also spelled Fleischkuechle. This dish is also popular among the many Russian-German immigrant families of South Dakota. The dish is particularly common at main-street diners, especially in Mercer County, and on menus at fraternal organizations around the state.
