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
