Add to favorites

Germknedel is a tender steamed bun with jam inside. In Vienna, Germknedel are poured with melted butter, but throughout Austria they are served with vanilla sauce (see our recipe for how to make it). But in any case, these buns need a generous sprinkle of poppy seeds. It is important that the jam or marmalade for the filling is thick enough so that nothing leaks out during cooking.
