Germknödel

Ingredients

• Dough:
• 90 ml milk
• 15 g yeast
• 18 g sugar
• 200 g flour
• 1 egg yolk
• 25 g butter
• Filling:
• Plum jam
• Vanilla sauce:
• 2 egg yolks
• 80 ml whipping cream

• To finish:

Method

1. Add yeast and sugar to lukewarm milk. Let it activate for a few minutes.
2. Add flour, egg yolk, and melted butter. Work into a soft dough and let it rise.
3. Divide the dough into pieces, fill with plum jam, and shape into dumplings.
4. Let the Germknödel rise a little longer, then steam for about 20 minutes.
5. For the sauce, mix egg yolks, cream, vanilla paste, and orange zest. Warm gently until thickened.
6. Serve the finished Germknödel with vanilla sauce, poppy seeds, and powdered sugar.

✨ Pink tip

Let the dough rise somewhere warm and seal the dumplings well so the plum jam does not leak while steaming. Heat the sauce gently so it stays smooth and creamy.
