My message is apparently too short to post, since I've added comments to your quoted post.Originally Posted by Duchess15
I've heard Flaedlesuppe, but not something our family makes or ever heard them mention. I'm not sure where that might be served. I actually think it's a southern German thing, meaning Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.You are correct about the frosting. Frosting over here is way too sweet and full of sugar. I can't really eat much of it.
The bakeries are always full of different pasteries and cakes. Their whipped cream is very light, and can you hardly taste any sugar. They also use a lot of different fruit in their cake or even poppyseed in "Mohnkuchen" which is poppy seed cake and one of my favorites!Oh, wow, Mohnkuchen. That's one dessert I have a weakness for.
In addition to types of pancakes, I just recalled a few dishes that our family does make. There are two types that I know of, but I'm sure there many others out there. The first one is Eierpfannkuchen. Basically it is an egg pancake. Just take about 5-6 eggs mix them together like you would an omelette and fry it on both sides. We add sliced ham into it chopped up into squares. We normally eat this on german bread with butter.
Another one is called Bauernfruehstueck. Which means farmer's breakfast. It's very similar to the egg pancake. The only addition is adding sliced cooked potatoes to it and frying on both sides. Served the same way as the other one above.
Kartoffelpuffer are what I am used to eating. A lot of the times we just get the Panni pack and make them that way.You can get Pfanni there?
In the stores over here, there is a company that makes a boxed cake mix called german chocolate cake which comes with the coconut frosting and this is what many people think is german chocolate cake, but it's not.German chocolate cake, as advertised in the U.S., seems to be unknown here. Other than Black Forest Cake/Donau Welle (Danube wave, which says nothing), the closest I can come up with is "Sachertorte", which is Austrian.
