Knödel are a special kind of cooked desert that has been traditionally prepared centuries ago in Central European and Eastern European cuisine. Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland – these are the countries where Knödel have been valued as one of the favorite desserts through history.

Originally, the Knödel are made from potato dough (sometimes it is grits or rice dough, depends on the recipe), filled with pitted plums and rolled into bread crumbs and sugar. This is what our grandmothers used to make, and many remember it as a favorite childhood treat.
