Kräuterschmarrn & Hexenbällchen

Kaiserschmarr`n April 2020

Ingredients for 1 person:
- 1/8 l Tyrolean alpine milk
- stir with 4 tablespoons of flour (80 g) until smooth
- Fold in 3 whole eggs (from happy chickens)
- 1 very small pinch of Austrian mountain salt
- Mix in a lot of finely chopped herbs as desired

Bake in the pan with 120 g butter like an omelette. Finish baking and cut into small pieces in the pan. You can also give in butter and put the lid on it and let it steep at a lower setting. Keep turning and frying until the pieces have the consistency that suits you best - this varies from person to person - some like the Kaiserschmarrn very crispy and others prefer a little "pastry".

The special thing about this 'Schmarr'n' is the 'witch balls' of mashed meat from the BIO Schottis of the Lindenhof (Scottish highland cattle from Bettina and Toni from the BIO Hof Lindenhof in Scheffau) - this wonderful, minced meat is mixed with very small brunnoise chopped and fried garlic plus chilli plus freshly grounded salt and pepper, a little egg for binding and then very small "balls" are formed and fried - the scent is stunning !!!

These crispy balls come on the aromatic herb pancakes and a swab of sour cream, chives & garlic dip and the world is fine!

Kaiserschmarrn

(Austrian Emperors’ omelet – Kaiser Franz Josef from Austria till 1916)

1 portion:
1/8 l Milk from happy Tyrolean cows
4 tablespoons Flour (80g)
3 Eggs from happy Tyrolean chicks
120g Butter from a Tyrolean alpine meadow
Raisins from Austrian grapes
Vanilla Sugar
Lemon from Southern Tyrol
Pinch of salt

Mix the milk and flour well. Add vanilla sugar to taste. Fold in eggs. Melt butter in a frying pan and pour the mixture in. Just before the pancakes are cooked hard, add raisins. When the pancakes are cooked cut into small pieces and keep on adding butter and sugar and stir all the time then leave a lid on for a minute. Serve with icing sugar on top and maybe with some plum compote or apple sauce and cold Tyrolean milk from happy cows who spend their summers high up in the mountains!

Tyrolean Kasspatzln

Ingredients (for 4 people):
250g of flour
3 eggs from happy Tyrolean chicken
5g of salt
50ml of lukewarm water
Salt water
Butter or ghee (from Tyrol)
1 onion, diced
100g grated or crumbled cheese (has to be “stinky” cheese from Tyrol)
Roasted onions
Parsley
Salt and pepper

Add the flour, eggs, salt and water to a bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon to form a dough. Remember not to use too much water as the dough should be quite thick. Press the dough through a Spatzlhobel (a type of upright cheese grate used for making noodles) and into a pan of boiling salted water. Bring the pan back to a boil again then strain and rinse cold.In a frying pan, fry the diced onion with a knob of butter (or ghee) until light brown in colour. Add the noodles into the pan and fry until they’re piping hot. Fold in the cheese and allow it to melt. Season the dish with some salt and pepper, stir together and serve with roasted onions and parsley. (The roasted onions can be made by peeling the onion and cutting it into thin slices. Dust the slices with paprika powder and flour, and fry until golden brown.) Hmmmm… Enjoy it !
