Buchteln

By Thom7747

Buchteln are an Austrian specialty and the most famous ones are served in the Cafe Hawelka in Vienna.
The origin of the Buchteln is the region of a former German part called Bohemia, but have found the way to Austria and Germany. In German they are called “Ofennudeln” which means translated “oven noodles”. You can fill them with plum jam (or in Austrian Powidl Jam), serve them with powdered sugar, vanilla sauce or just plain but fresh from the oven. You bake them in a large form in the oven and they must stick together. Enjoy them as a main dish or as dessert.
