If you’re looking for a fun and easy Austrian recipe to try, look no further! This Salzburger Nockerln recipe is perfect for beginners, and it will have your guests raving about your culinary skills. For this video, I am a bit embarrassed because I did the dishes before filming and water got onto my dress, making it look as if I was wearing dirty clothes. I actually tried everything to remove it in postproduction without success. So annoying! Please just ignore it.

The Nockerln
- Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until a stiff mass is created. Tip: It works best if the egg whites have room temperature!
- Put the egg yolks, the flour, and the lemon zest on top and carefully fold it in with a spatula. There should still be streaks of egg yolks visible in the mass.
- Use a spatula to place ⅓ of the mass at the front of your oven-safe dish. Shape it upwards to a peak, then place a second and third peak behind it.
- Bake in the oven for about 7-8 minutes or until the peaks are turning to a light golden-brown color.
- With a little sieve, dust it with a mix of confectioner’s sugar & vanilla sugar, then serve immediately.
