🇦🇹 Austria recipe
Buchteln
Buchteln are pillowy, golden yeast buns that originated in Bohemia and became a staple of Viennese bakery and home cooking. Each soft bun conceals a heart of thick plum jam, and they are baked snugly together in a buttered pan so they tear apart in a tender, fragrant mass. Served warm and dusted with powdered sugar alongside a pool of vanilla custard sauce, Buchteln are pure nostalgia for every Austrian.
