German Filled Hoernchen

Rich tart pastry of little horns. The filling can also be marmalade, a mixture of raisins or currants with cinnamon and sugar, or chopped hazelnuts with sugar and enough sour or sweet cream to bind the mixture.

After spending so much money on those Mall bought pretzels, I thought I'd try making some myself. So here's a recipe that has worked for me. Enjoy!

If you love bratwurst, you'll love this simple, but delicious recipe. Pre-cook your brats in a large pot with beer, heaps of butter, and sliced onions. Then put them on the grill until brown and irresistible. Makes four servings.

This is a delicious dish I ordered again and again when I was stationed in Germany with the Army. It is best served with French fries to clean up the remaining gravy and a nice garden salad.

These are the best French Fries - the sugar solution has something to do with the carbohydrates, but by doing it they don't soak up so much grease, so they get crunchy.

A simple dough of flour, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, eggs and milk is pressed through a spaetzle maker or a sieve to produce strands of dough. Boil in water or broth a few at a time until they float, then saute in butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

What makes this traditional potato salad so good is that the dressing is poured onto the potatoes while they are still warm. Then the whole wonderful concoction sits for an hour to blend all the flavors perfectly. Makes six generous servings.

Wiener Schnitzel

Submitted by: Carolin 
Translation of the name: 'Wiener' this word comes from the word 'Wien', which is the Austrian city called Vienna. 'Schnitzel' means basically meat in a crust. I'm German and hope you can understand my English description.

Pumpernickel Rye Bread

This whole wheat and rye bread gains a softer texture with high gluten flour. Both coffee and cocoa deepen the flavor as well as the color. And caraway seeds add a subtle nutty-licorice crunch.

Slightly sweet golden squash is topped with a savory herbed cheese-breadcrumb topping. It's been my signature dish every Thanksgiving for the last 12 years. It takes a bit of work, but it is so, so worth it. Your guests will ask you for the recipe, so be prepared.
