- 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
- 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.
- Stir the Powidl with the rum and the cinnamon.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Meanwhile melt the rest of the butter and toast the breadcrumbs in it with the sugar for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until golden.
- Lift the Tascherl out with a slotted spoon, roll them in the buttered crumbs and serve warm, dusted with icing sugar.
