Germknödel (Plum and Poppy Seed Dumpling)

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Equipment | Techniques | Cookbook Disambiguation Pages | Recipes | Austrian Cuisine | Dessert The Germknödel is a traditional Austrian dish, originating from Viennese and Bohemian cuisines. It is a yeast dumpling filled with plum jam and served with poppy seeds, powdered sugar, and lots of melted butter or vanilla sauce on top. The plum jam is a special kind of jam called powidl. The plums are cooked for 24 hours without any other ingredients except for unripe walnuts, which give the jam its dark color. Its tart flavor makes powidl the perfect filling to contrast the sweet dumpling. Frozen Germknödel are sold in Austrian supermarkets. They are prepared by boiling them for 20 minutes, before topping with poppy seeds, powdered sugar and melted butter. When lacking time this is very convenient, but like most frozen foods, it is not a worthwhile alternative to the homemade version.
