When I went to Switzerland, I had amazing soft pretzels from a stand on the side of the road. I’ve been trying to find a great soft pretzel recipe ever since then. While this one isn’t quite as good as the ones I had in Switzerland, they’re pretty darn good.
Salzburger Nockerln, or “Salzburg Dumplings,” is a sweet soufflé or omelet that resembles three or more golden church domes in a baking dish. It is an easy recipe that is great breakfast or brunch idea as well as a dessert. I make vanilla sugar by putting a vanilla bean in a container with sugar, it sits in my pantry…. you could either buy vanilla sugar already made or just add real vanilla extract to the sugar. This is especially good with Vanilla Sauce, warm Chocolate Sauce, or cold Strawberry Sauce.
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!
The recipe is different from others posted in that it contains raisins and almonds. The English translation of Glühwein is “glow wine.” The mulled wine got its name because it radiates heat and gives the drinker a glow.
This traditional recipe is normally served with Kirschsosse or Vanillesosse. This is from my grandmother’s recipe box.
