Introduction & history

Akin to a soufflé, the Salzburger nockerl is a light and airy dessert consisting of three vanilla-flavored dumplings that are shaped in such a way as to resemble the local mountains around Salzburg. The ingredients needed to make the Salzburger nockerl are just eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and flour. The egg whites and sugar are whipped into a snow, and yolks, vanilla sugar, and flour and then stirred into the glossy meringue until just combined. When done, it is dusted with confectioners' sugar and served in a baking dish or on a silver platter. The Salzburger nockerl is a dessert but can be served as a main course as well.
