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”.
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.

This is one of my Mom’s (Austrian) recipes that she would make on Special Occasions and Christmas…she always stressed that the dough had to rolled very thin..I use a German Measuring cup.. have not converted.. we always used Red Currant Jelly for filling.. tried others.. but liked this the most.. There were never any left.. and I have to hide these from my boys.. sounds a little time consuming but well worth the trouble!
