🇦🇹 Austria recipe

Marillenknodel

Marillenknodel are the jewel of Austrian summer cooking, appearing on menus and home tables when the prized Wachau apricots are at their peak. Each ripe apricot is encased in a tender, pillowy potato dough, gently boiled until the fruit softens to a jammy, aromatic center, then rolled in butter-toasted breadcrumbs with a touch of cinnamon. The contrast of the sweet-tart fruit, the soft dough, and the crunchy, buttery coating is perfection.
