-
13.Dust the strauben with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Apples — Choose firm and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Braeburn for the best flavor and texture.
- Lemon zest — Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the lemon, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crispiness, let the pancake batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the strauben immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast between the warm pancake and the cool whipped cream.
- If desired, add a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or a drizzle of honey to the apple filling for additional flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Austrian Apple Strauben warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and accompanied by a generous dollop of whipped cream. This dessert is perfect for sharing with family and friends on cozy evenings or special occasions.
Presentation advice
Arrange the folded strauben on a serving platter, allowing the powdered sugar to lightly dust the plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a dusting of cinnamon for an elegant touch.
