These are really special little biscuits (cookies). They have a shortbread type texture and are great with coffee or when you want to impress someone!
Although I haven’t made this dish in ages, it was one of the first I tried when DH and I were dating, and I made dinner for him! For that reason, I’m glad I found this cookbook (Betty Crocker’s New International) to share this sentimental (for us) dish. I remember it being a very tasty dish; it’s not very colorful, but it does have a nice flavor, and when made with light sour cream, isn’t too detrimental to the waistline! It’s described as both Hungarian and Austrian in its origin, “betyar fogas”, and the note says that it’s often accompanied by boiled russet potatoes. I used to serve it with a colorful salad, since a white fish dish and white potatoes was way too bland!
This recipe is from week 17 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Austria is my 17th stop. This side dish is a delicious and simple way to eat Brussels sprouts.
This casserole is of Austrian origin and was brought over by immigants before the turn of the last century. My mother made a simplified version of this recipe for the family (recipe#512343); but, for a special occasion, this recipe is an authentic version.
