ECHTE SALZBURGER NOCKERL
1 bar less 1 tbs. sweet butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
10 egg yolks
1/2 cup flour (scant)
10 egg whites
1 cup milk
2- 10" skillets or one large oven-proof dish
Cream together butter and sugar. Add 2 or 3 egg yolks at a time, beating well after each
addition until light and fluffy. Fold flour and very stiffly beaten egg whites into
batter. (The success of this recipe depends mostly on the stiffness of your egg whites).
Cover bottoms of two 10-inch skillets with milk. Bring to a boil and immediately pour
batter into hot milk.
Place skillets in preheated oven (450 F). Reduce heat to 400 F and bake for 6-8 minutes
until golden. Nockerln should be firm outside, but light and fluffy inside. With a serving
spoon, quickly cut off large pieces, place on a preheated plate, and dust with very fine
vanilla sugar.
Serve at once, since Nockerln do not tolerate waiting; they will collapse.
