A type of vlaai known as laddervlaai, rastervlaai or linzenvlaai.

Limburgse vlaai (Limburgish: vlaai, vlaoj, vla or flaai. Plural: vlaaien)[1] is a pastry consisting of dough and a filling, traditionally associated with the provinces of Limburg found both in the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as parts of Germany across the border.

Variations exist throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, and areas of the German state; North Rhine-Westphalia near the border with the Netherlands. A vlaai is usually 26 - 31 centimetres in diameter.[2] It is available in many different varieties of fruit fillings, such as cherry, apricot, strawberry, and plum.[3] Other variations are a crumbled butter and sugar mix ("greumellevlaai" in Limburgish, or "kruimelvlaai" in Dutch) and a cooked rice and custard porridge ("rijstevlaai").

Vlaai is often eaten on special occasions and for significant life events, particularly in the Dutch province of Limburg, such as birthdays[4] and funerals. When eaten on the occasion of a funeral, the vlaai is typically made with black plum ("Zwarte pruimenvlaai").[5][6]
