  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (177 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 80 g Potatoes, floury
  • 25 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 5 g Semolina
  • 6 g Egg yolk
  • 14 g Butter
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 25 g Plum butter (Powidl)
  • 2 g Rum
  • 0.2 g Cinnamon
  • 12 g Breadcrumbs
  • 4 g Sugar
  • 3 g Icing sugar

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes until tender. Peel them while hot, press them through a ricer and leave them to cool completely.
  2. Stir the Powidl with the rum and the cinnamon.
  3. Quickly knead the potato with the flour, the semolina, the egg yolk, a little of the butter, soft, and the salt into a smooth dough, and leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Roll it out on a floured board 3-4 mm thick and cut it into 7 cm squares. Put a teaspoon of Powidl in the middle of each, brush the edges with water, fold them into triangles and press the edges firmly together so no filling can leak.
  5. Simmer them in a wide pan of barely boiling salted water for 6-8 minutes, until they rise to the surface and the dough is cooked.
  6. Meanwhile melt the rest of the butter and toast the breadcrumbs in it with the sugar for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until golden.
  7. Lift the Tascherl out with a slotted spoon, roll them in the buttered crumbs and serve warm, dusted with icing sugar.
