Cooking method

Thüringer / oberfränkischer serviettenkloß. Thuringian / Upper Franconian pudding (flour sack).

Napkin dumplings or pudding are served as a side dish, as a main course, and as a dessert (with sweet sauce and compote). In southern Germany, it is usually prepared in an oblong shape, similar to a loaf of sausage. In northern Germany, like a big dumpling. In Austria, Upper Franconia and Bohemia, pudding is wrapped in cloth and boiled in water. In South German cuisine, the dough is wrapped in a napkin or other linen cloth and cooked both by steam and over boiling water. You can use a metal colander.

The used fabric is washed without using soap or detergent and boiled for disinfection.

When the pudding was invented by whom, where, it is not known. Until the 1930s, it was known only in Thuringia, Upper Franconia and the Hamburg region.

In the early 18th century, pudding in southern Thuringia and Upper Franconia was prepared as a side dish to wedding meals. Now it is an attribute of the Christmas table and Sunday addition to the roast.






It is very simple to prepare it. Break the buns, add eggs and milk, salt and nutmeg,


semolina or flour. Leave to soak for 30 minutes.



For the second option, fry the onions in oil (I used ready-made frozen onions and carrots). Divide the dough in half, add frying and parsley in one part, pepper.


Put on a towel, you can moisten it in water, you can dust it with flour, then roll up and tie it not tight! When cooking, the pudding increases slightly. Cook / steam / microwave))) salt the water.




Heat treatment methods are currently different:
- hang over boiling water for about an hour
-in a double boiler for about an hour
-in microwave 4-6min (mine broke, so I cooked both in limbo for an hour)
-in boiling water for about an hour
By the way, now you can put the dough in the molds, but the traditional version is fabric!

After cooking, cut into pieces and serve. I have a sweet version with chocolate dried apricots, peach jam and vanilla-lemon-orange syrup left over after cooking candied fruits.

I have wanted to try it for a long time, now I will, thanks!

But there are still some pockets - I'm looking for a good recipe, they also cook in rags!

How unusual! Interesting, this is the first time I've seen such a dish! Thank you!

Rada-dms, I didn't come across pockets)

Bul, unusually thought I don’t wash the towel, nothing, I picked the sticky dough with my finger for 5 minutes and into the wash

Natasha, very original! : girl-yes: Why do you need to cook for so long? it seems to me that readiness can come in 20-30 minutes? Or is there a secret?

[Alexandra]

Alexandra, in all the studied recipes they cook for so long, probably because the volume is large and the temperature inside is reached for a long time, if they make sausages for 45 minutes, and balls for an hour, no secrets

As soon as I saw the recipe, I immediately caught fire to make it. There was just a dried matnakash, tore it not finely, kneaded according to the Basic recipe, I just forgot to add flour. I didn't have time to cook for an hour (although it would be interesting to cook in a napkin), I decided to do it in the microwave. I wrapped it in a film of "sausage" with a diameter of 5 centimeters, put it on for 3 minutes, plus gave it a "rest" for a couple of minutes. Despite the lack of flour, it was cut into slices very evenly, did not fall apart. And .. what a delicious he was. I ate it with sour cream, and could not stop)) I treated my parents, they also liked it very much, but they liked it so much that I had to immediately cook pudding # 2, though from a regular loaf.
Now I cook it in the microwave. Very comfortably. There is one minus - much more bread is eaten in the form of this pudding than in the form of just bread ..
