moosbeenidei (blueberry pikelets)

Recipe by

his is a typical sweet dish from the Pinzgau in Austria. Not exactly a dumpling as you know it, but it's called dumpling. I think maybe it does resemble a pikelet. The batter is unsweetened except for the blueberries, so you either sprinkle the prepared dumplings with some sugar or make a sauce from some more blueberries. The recipe didn't state how much milk you should use, it just said "milk". That's the way Germans make pancakes - some eggs and flour and then add some milk... Evidently Austrians do the same. You should have a rather thin batter, so add as much as you need for a thin batter.
