Zwetschgenknodel (Plum Dumplings)

[@randalcolucci6833]

My mother was Austrian with her family coming from Tobaj, Austria - near Hungary. She would make plum dumplings at Christmas along with Nussen Strudel and Cresent cookies. Many of these desserts crossed borders across Polish, Czech, German, Austrian, and Hungarian cultures (and likely others). Brings back great memories of magical Christmas Holidays long since past.

[@JS-cz5zm]

My grandmother was also from Austria (Numbers) and she taught me how to make plum dumplings 35 years ago. We never use cinnamon, just sugar. In Chicago, Italian plums are only available at the beginning of September so, we make them and freeze them and they are incredibly delicious.

Neuberg not numbers…

[@randalcolucci6833]

@@JS-cz5zm Deadly combo….Austrian baking and Italian Cuisine. I grew up on both. Neuberg. That’s near Graz I think, is it not?

[@SabineFoley-d2n]

Coming from Austria, my grandmother used to make this with apricot or plums. I prefer the apricot version. My brother and I used to have an eating competition, who could eat more of them after coming home from school. I could smell them on my way into the house. One of my favourite dishes ever! I am glad I found this video. Thank you Oma! I will surprise my daughter with this - she absolutely loves it too, and I have not made this in a very long time.

[@randalcolucci6833]

See my comment above. Apricot cookies were the best along with the prune variety.

[@elizabethirvine479]

Greetings guten tag from australia. My mum also a Oma, was from austria and she made these plum,apricot dumplings as well.They were delicious. You are a delight Oma. Love your cooking and your accent. Same as my mum. Hugs

[@edwardfersch6055]

My family was from Gant, in Hungary...my grandmother always made these when we visited her in New Jersey on Long Beach Island. Also made apple and potato strudel...stretching the dough paper thin, covering the kitchen table before rolling up. FYI..she also worked in a bakery in Vienna, before moving to the U.S. Love your videos, and your accent...reminds me of her.

[@wawasmoothie33]

this was one of the best things my Oma would make, this made me cry, I miss her so much. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video of a wonderful woman.

[@1lenzter]

I miss my Hungarian grandma! I'm half Hawaiian half Hungarian best of both worlds!!!!We dont have any Hungarian restaurants in Hawaii! Thanks for your videos!!!

[@Maneich]

Oma! My mom use to make these! They were my favourite!!! I have not had them in about 35 years!!! Thank you for posting this!

[@judyszalai5776]

Years ago my Hungarian mother-in-law made them often because her children loved them.love watching you cook the same recipes. Maybe I’ll give them a try and surprise her grandchildren. Would be nice to bring back her memories.

[@doodleshangout3518]

How am i just now finding this!. Oh my....I miss my Oma and Opa! Oh and the perfection but in the sweetest way!! My Oma would get so upset if she happened to get potatoes that she called "watery"! She loved boiled potatoes with butter but omg fried potatoes were her weekness! She had to have the perfect plums or cherries for her dumplings! And the patience and love the Omas put into their cooking!! Thank you for sharing....with all my heart thank you!❤

My dear Czech grandmother made these through all of my childhood. Thanks Oma they look fantastic and bring me back!!

My Austrian grandmother made these for my dad from time to time. They were made a little different, but watching Oma make them has me wishing I'd gotten to watch my grandma make them.

Just ran across this recommended channel. My grandma and grandpa were Hungarian. I loved to watch my grandma cook. I learned so much from her when I was young. My son's love my soup but my favorite was my grandma's poppy seed retes' strudel. I have yet to master it. Me cooking with her are some of my fondest childhood memories. Wonderful videos! It's like I'm cooking with my grandma again!

[@KarmaKutie1]

@HAPPY MOMENTS - My Loving Mutti was also from Austria and so sadly she passed in 2001. Your comment brought tears to my eyes as I remember her making these plum dumplings for my late Daddy and us. I often find myself waking up at night and talking to her, then verbally begging her to come here so that I can speak with her - 'just one more time'. Maybe, just maybe, your Mom and my Mom have met, and are having a wonderful cooking and happy time together … wherever they are :) Greetings to you from the West Coast of Canada- "WE" were, and always will be blessed because of THEM
