Miniature Austrian Sachertorte

Sachertorte, one of Austria’s most famous desserts, was created in the 1830s by baker Franz Sacher. Here is an updated version of the classic recipe, made into individual servings using a muffin tin. The moist, light cake is topped with a glistening chocolate icing and served with a dollop of warm Cointreau spiked apricot jam. A lovely special occasion dessert! Adapted from “The Opera Lover’s Cookbook”.

Vanille Kipferln

Austrian cookie recipe from friends of my grandmother. Vanilla sugar and vanilla confectioners sugar is just sugar with the addition of one vanilla bean to the container. The longer the vanilla bean stays in the container with the sugar, the more vanilla flavor is absorbed by the sugar.

Austrian Topfenpalatschinken – Austrian Sweet Crêpes

A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn’t find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you’ll enjoy it! If you can’t get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta – half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don’t hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, … etc.

Austrian Kaiserschmarren With Raisins and Plum Jam

ZWT 6. These pancakes are delicious. I just tried them this morning. I heated the juice of half an orange in the microwave and put the raisins in the hot juice to plump up. If you don’t have cake flour or pastry flour on hand, use all purpose white flour, but use 2 tbsp less flour.

Goulas of Chanterelles

This is a very typical austrian dish, every family has their own recipe. In the early of fall we go searching for, no, finding mushrooms. Where i grow up it is quite easy to find chanterelles but as they are terrible expensive if you are not that lucky to be able to go into the woods and find food, it is possible to use other mushrooms or a combination of different kinds. Traditionally served with dumplings.
