As a child my favorite recipes in Austria were apricot dumplings. Now I make a few other types. At this time of year strawberries are great, especially during the cool evenings that can crop up. Often served as a meal on their own in Europe. This recipe is the one i use for more formal fussy dumplings and I still use the old fashioned ending which I will tack on as an option. Prep time does not include the 1/2 hour of dough resting.
A member requested this recipe on the German cooking forum. I had not made this recipe personally. I have combined two recipes from two different Austrian cookbooks my husband brought back from Austria.
This is my grandmother’s recipe. She grew up in Austria, moving to the United States when she married. She always served these with roast beef and gravy.
This traditional recipe is normally served with Kirschsosse or Vanillesosse. This is from my grandmother’s recipe box.
This was definitely the best dessert offering my friends and I had at the Kafe Sacher in Wien. Forget Sacher Torte (imo way too dry), try these instead. I have not provided a fruit compote – use one of your liking (at the Kafe Sacher they were served with an apricot sauce). This particular recipe was found at the GlobalGourmet and adjusted to include the toasted breadcrumbs. Note: In Austria, topfen (quark) would be used instead of cottage cheese. If you have it, use it. 🙂
