Austrian topfenknödel are made from a dough of strained quark cheese and semolina, shaped into balls, and steamed in a pressure cooker basket. This sugar-free version also suits holiday meals, satisfying a sweet craving without sugar.

Step by Step

Knead the dough

Knead the strained quark with the semolina, egg, melted butter, and salt until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

2

Shape the dumplings

10 min

With wet hands, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll them into balls.

3

Steam in the pressure cooker

15 min

Arrange the balls in the pressure cooker’s steamer basket. With the lid off, steam them over boiling water for 15 minutes.

4

Serve with breadcrumbs

5 min

Sprinkle the hot dumplings with breadcrumbs toasted in butter, season with cinnamon, and serve.

Reminder

Hamuru 15 dakika dinlendirmeme rağmen toplar buharda dağıldı, sanırım irmiği fazla koydum ve kıvam gevşek kaldı. İkinci denemede yarım su bardağı irmikle daha toparlak sonuç aldım.
