Traditional Sulzberger Nockerl

Ingredients

Regarding the Nockerl:

1. Four big egg whites
2. 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3. Half a cup of sugar, granulated
4. Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
5. Half a cup of all-purpose flour
6. One-fourth teaspoon of salt
7. Two enormous yolks from an egg

Regarding the optional raspberry sauce:

1. One cup of raspberries, either fresh or frozen
2. 1/4 cup of sugar, granulated
3. One tablespoon of lemon juice
4. One tablespoon of water, if necessary

Directions

Warm up the oven:

• Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Grease individual ramekins or a large baking dish with butter.

Create the Nockerl:

• Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
• Add the sugar gradually while beating until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. It should take roughly four to five minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently mix in the flour, salt, and vanilla essence. The egg whites should not be deflated.
• Gently fold in the egg yolks until barely blended.

Form the Nockerl:

• In order to create the three mounds that symbolize the three peaks of the mountains that encircle Salzburg, spoon the mixture into the baking dish that has been prepared.

Bake:

• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the top of the nockerl is gently golden and puffed.

Prepare the optional raspberry sauce:

• Make the raspberry sauce while the nockerl bakes. Put the lemon juice, sugar, raspberries, and a little water in a small saucepan.
• Cook for 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat, or until the raspberries are broken down and the sauce has slightly thickened. You might need to add a bit more water to help the raspberries boil down if you’re using frozen ones.

Serve:

• After baking, take the nockerl out of the oven and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
• Drizzle the raspberry sauce over or alongside and serve right away.

Advice

• Serving: Since Sulzberger Nockerl will start to lose its air after a few minutes, it is best served right out of the oven.
• Flavor Variations: Depending on your taste, you can try using different fruits for the sauce, including mixed berries or strawberries.
• Presentation: Serve the raspberry sauce with a dollop of whipped cream for a sophisticated touch.
