Best Topfenknodel Recipes
TOPFENKNOEDEL WITH STEWED RED PLUMS
These hearty cheese dumplings are an Austrian specialty. Farmer cheese is a form of cottage cheese that has been drained of most of its liquid; you can find it in the dairy section of most grocery stores. Ricotta cheese can be substituted, but it must be drained in a fine sieve for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Stir together cheese, eggs and yolks, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in flour and 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Using 2 wet soup spoons, shape a spoonful of the mixture into a 2-inch-long oval, and drop it into simmering water. Cook until it rises to the surface, about 2 minutes, then continue to cook for 3 1/2 minutes more. Repeat. You can cook 4 to 5 dumplings at a time, removing them with a slotted spoon when finished.
- Divide dumplings among individual serving bowls. Sprinkle each dumpling with about 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs. Divide plums and syrup among bowls. Serve immediately.
TOPFENKNODEL
This was definitely the best dessert offering my friends and I had at the Kafe Sacher in Wien. Forget Sacher Torte (imo way too dry), try these instead. I have not provided a fruit compote - use one of your liking (at the Kafe Sacher they were served with an apricot sauce). This particular recipe was found at the GlobalGourmet and adjusted to include the toasted breadcrumbs. Note: In Austria, topfen (quark) would be used instead of cottage cheese. If you have it, use it. :-)
