Pfitzauf
Pfitzauf is a traditional Swabian dish. The
dough consists of eggs, milk, flour, butter and
sugar and will be baked either in special fire-
proof ceramic forms or fire-proof ceramic cups or
even coffee cups. The original Pfitzauf forms are
higher than regular muffin forms.

Because the dough will rise high over the baking

cup while baking, the Swabians named it
accordingly. The dough “pfitzt auf” (“pops out”).
Pfitzauf is a sweet dish and is served with vanilla
sauce, raspberry sauce, warm cherries and
cream or compote. It can be served as a dessert
as well.

Ingredients:

200 g flour
1/2 l milk
1 tbsp sugar
5 eggs
75 g butter
a pinch of salt
a bit of vanilla

Preparation:

1. Mix flour, milk and salt until very smooth.

2. Add eggs, sugar, vanilla and the melted butter. Mix well until it is smooth.
3. Grease the forms or cups and fill them with dough until they are half-filled.
4. Bake at 200 C for at least 20 minutes.
