pinzgauer kaspressknoedel (cheese dumplings)

Recipe by
Marion Wilting

This is a typical recipe from the Pinzgau in Austria. The original recipe requires "Bierkäse" (beer cheese) which is a cheese wrapped in beer soaked cloth during the ripening process. You can use any cheese that is a bit like remoudou, but if you can get a cheese ripened in a beer wrap, that would be terrific. This is nothing for the faint hearted and nothing for diet - the Pinzgau cuisine is very hearty and rich, a typical rural cuisine with few meat dishes and lots of flour, potatoes, cheese, butter and cream... I post this as German recie because JAP does not have Austrian recipes
