Buchteln · Vienna
Sweet yeasted dumplings, baked together in a hot oven so they pull apart in fluffy squares, filled with apricot jam (Marillenmarmelade) and served from 20:00 onwards with vanilla sauce poured over the top.
Buchteln came to Vienna from the Bohemian half of the empire, becoming a late-night Wiener Mehlspeise served from the Kaffeehaus oven. Cafe Hawelka on Dorotheergasse has run the canonical version since 1939 to a recipe by Josefine Hawelka, the family kitchen turning them out fresh in the late evening from 20:00 onwards.
