Túrógombóc

Túrógombóc (or topfenknödel in German) are traditional Hungarian and Austrian dumplings of Bohemian origin that are made with fresh cottage cheese (túró cheese in Hungary), semolina, and eggs. The shaped dumplings are cooked and then coated in fried breadcrumbs which can be seasoned with cinnamon and vanilla. The key is to use as little semolina as possible to make the dumplings airy and light. Túrógombóc are usually served with sweetened sour cream, sweet sauces, and fruits.
