The classic apricot dumplings have to be breaded with breadcrumbs. At least that’s how the Austrians like it. The popular classic dumpling does not originally come from Austria, but from Bohemia. The former luxury food and today’s home cooking is now a culinary monument.

Valuable recipe

Wonderfully fluffy, turned in golden yellow butter crumbs, dusted with sugar and with a fully ripe apricot inside – that is a successful apricot dumpling for Austrians.

A relic of the Bohemian cuisine

Thanks to the association "Austria’s culinary heritage" The history of the apricot dumpling is no secret in Vienna. "Bohemian cuisine found its way into Austria in the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, many female cooks from Bohemia were in the service of Viennese town houses" says Sylvia Sedlnitzky, board member of the association. "They brought their recipes with them, including for sweet fruit dumplings."

They were once a luxury item

Today’s apricot dumplings were called back then "knedlsk" and was a very costly proposition. It was only after 1800, when sugar became cheaper and potatoes became a staple food by being extracted from sugar beets, that apricot dumplings also played a role in everyday cooking. In a cookbook from 1880, the sweet dumplings are already one of the "common pastries" later they are considered simple home cooking.

For some apricots, for others apricot

What is called apricot in Austria, South Tyrol and parts of Bavaria is called apricot in more northern areas. The expression "apricot" probably goes to the Italian name "amerillo" back that differs from the botanical name of the fruit "Prunus armeniaca" derives. Since the fruit was grown in Armenia in ancient times, the country was believed to be its place of origin. But the fruit comes from China.

Potatoes must be a bit older

The apricot dumpling is made from potato, quark or strudel dough. Master confectioner Dietmar Fercher from Vienna prefers a quark dough for the dumplings: "For me, the acidity of the pots goes well with the light acidity of the apricot." For potato dough, you need well seasoned potatoes. "If they’re too fresh, the dough won’t hold. The dumpling is falling apart."

Buttercrumbs are essential

Nothing works with apricot dumplings without butter crumbs, better more than too little. "The dumplings must be fully breaded with it." When the crumbs turn color in the hot butter, Fercher takes them from the fire and carefully adds granulated sugar, vanilla pulp and cinnamon. The whole thing is served with an apricot foam made from soft fruits.

If you ask Germans about their favorite dishes, you will often find hearty home-style cooking among the answers: roulades, goulash, meatloaf or vegetable stews. But simple dishes from childhood days such as rice pudding, potato pancakes with applesauce or farmer’s breakfast are also very popular. Let yourself be inspired by our tips and recipes for the most popular German recipe classics to cook at home.

These dishes have been tasty for generations

Our grandmothers still had recipes that were passed on from generation to generation. For those who do not have such a treasure, we have collected popular home-made recipes to cook at home. Try (again) the classics from the last decades. Perhaps you will discover a dish that still tastes particularly good to you today.

Sweet home cooking is easy to make

For many years, children and adults have been pampered with semolina and rice pudding. The desserts are quick to prepare and also inexpensive. Depending on the season, there is also fresh fruit or cooked compote. Pancakes and Kaiserschmarrn are also popular classics. The egg dishes taste dusted with powdered sugar or with homemade applesauce. Pancakes are also served heartily filled. Depending on the region, dishes from the leftover kitchen such as poor knights, oven slippers or cherry michel are still delicious.

Hearty soups always arrive

Potato soup and lentil stew, semolina or pearl barley soup: soups and stews are popular in all kinds of variations. The classic, for which the ingredients used to come mostly from the garden at home, was the vegetable soup. Beef soup or chicken soup was also popular, and not just when you caught a cold.

Meat is served on Sunday

The hearty dishes of home cooking are still gladly prepared in many families today: the wrong bunny, goulash, roulade or sauerbraten make your mouth water. Potatoes in every shape, as jacket potatoes, boiled potatoes or puree, are the number one side dish. With fresh vegetables and a fine sauce, they are ideal dishes for the weekend. If you have to go faster during the week, the farmer’s breakfast or a Strammer Max are worth a try. Those who prefer not to eat meat should definitely try eggs in mustard sauce or potato pancakes with applesauce.

Classically prepare roulades from beef

Beef roulades are a classic stew that you can make yourself at a low temperature on the stove or in the oven. Expect one thin slice of roulade per person.

Coat the meat thinly with mustard and season with salt and pepper. Cover each slice of roulade with three strips of bacon and three strips of pickles. Sprinkle the filling with onion rings. Roll up the roulades from the narrow side and secure them with roulade tongs. Alternatively, tie the roulades with roasting needles or strong thread. Finally, dust the roulades lightly with flour.

Fry the meat in hot fat until it is browned on all sides. Fry the onion cubes if you like. Fill up with 250 milliliters of hot broth, which you briefly bring to the boil. Then braise the beef roulades in a covered saucepan over a low flame. You need just under two hours. Alternatively, you can cook the dish in the oven at 120 degrees Celsius.

Tie the sauce with mixed cornstarch or sour cream before serving. Potatoes and red cabbage go well as side dishes. The filling becomes more substantial with meat sausage and paprika strips.

Make cabbage rolls grandmother’s way

Stuffed cabbage rolls are also a classic from grandmother’s kitchen: calculate with two small roulades per person. For the roulades, first steam white cabbage or savoy cabbage in a small saucepan. Alternatively, you can briefly cook it in boiling salted water and then rinse it in cold water. Carefully remove the sheets from the struck and cut the ribs flat.
