Traditional Soft Pretzels

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 With Preserves

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.

Ischler Krapferl W/ Chocolate Icing.. Filled Cookies

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!

Glühwein (Mulled Wine) – Debrosses Restaurant, Berlin

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.
