Salzburger Nockerl Recipes

SALZBURGER NOCKERLN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour the warm raspberry jam into a 7 by 11-inch baking dish. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ounce of sugar, and tapioca flour. Add the egg yolks, Grand Marnier, orange zest and lemon zest. Whisk until light in color.
• In an electric mixer, fitted with a wire whisk, beat together the egg whites and 1 ounce of sugar to soft peaks. Then, add the remaining 5 ounces of sugar in a slow, steady stream and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
• Stir 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture to blend. Fold in the remaining meringue and continue to gently mix until well blended.
• Spoon into 3 equal mounds over the raspberry jam, shaping to resemble the 3 mountains of Salzburg. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and risen like a souffle. Serve immediately with extra raspberry jam and Creme Anglaise.
• In a small saute pan, combine 6 ounces of raspberries, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes, whisking vigorously to break apart the raspberries. The mixture should resemble a loose jam. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 6 ounces of raspberries, stirring gently until well coated.

Steps:

• heat oven to 350.
• In a medium mixing bowl, mix egg yolk, vanilla, lemon, flour, tartar using a spoon, whisk, whatever.
• In a large bowl (hint: Use your stand mixer) beat egg whites, salt until it begins to cling to the beater apparatus.
• Add the 2 tbsp sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Butter your baking pan/dish (sides included) and spoon the jam on the bottom.
• Add 1/3 of your whites to the yolk mix, fold. Fold that into the white mix and so on and so forth until mixed but don't over fold- be gentle.
• Dollop it into your baking pan; the tradition is to do three dollops to resemble the three mountain peaks in Salzburg or so I've been told.
• Bake 10-20 minutes until golden and set- you want some "jiggle" not no liquid.it is not a custard but also not quite a souffle, so an in-between consistency or to your liking.
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, break the egg yolks up with a fork and stir in the vanilla and lemon peel. Sprinkle the flour over the yolk mixture.
• In another bowl, using a wire whisk or rotary or electric beater, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they cling to the beater. Add the sugar and bet until the whites form stiff, unwavering peaks. With a rubber spatula, stir an overflowing tablespoon of the whites into the yolk-and-flour mixture, then reverse the process and fold the yolk mixture into the rest of the egg whites, using an over-under cutting motion instead of a mixing motion. Don't overfold.
• Generously butter an oval or oblong 8 by 10 inch baking dish attractive enough to serve from. Using the rubber spatula, make 3 mounds of the mixture in the dish. Bake the Nockerl in the middle of the oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is lightly brown on the outside but still soft on the inside. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pour cream into a 9-inch pie plate or shallow gratin dish and spoon lingonberry sauce into cream in dollops (it will be sparse).
• Put egg whites and salt in a bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of hot water and stir whites to warm to room temperature, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from hot water. Beat whites with an electric mixer at high speed until they just form soft peaks, then beat in granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until whites just form stiff, glossy peaks. Sprinkle flour over meringue and fold in gently but thoroughly. Whisk together egg yolks and vanilla in a small bowl, then fold into whites gently but thoroughly.
• Spoon large dollops of meringue onto cream mixture and bake until golden brown and set, 13 to 15 minutes. If you prefer a less creamy soufflé, bake 5 minutes more. Dust lightly with confectioners sugar and cool 5 minutes before serving.
