Austrian Meat Stuffed Dumplings (G’hackknoedel)

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.

Hungarian Cabbage Rolls

Handed down from my husband’s grandmother who came from Hungary on her honeymoon through Ellis Island. I am sure it was changed slightly to American-type ingredients.

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.
