      Title: Austrian Apricot Balls (Marillenknoedel)
 Categories: German, Cheese-eggs, Dessert, Fruit
      Yield: 14 Knoedel
 
    250 g  White cheese (?) (austrian:
           -Topfen, german: Quark)
     30 g  Butter
      2    Egg yolks
      1 pn Salt
     80 g  Flour
     80 g  Butter
    100 g  Breadcrumbs
      2 tb Sugar
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
     14    Apricots
     14    Pieces of sugar
           Powdered sugar
 
  Mix white cheese, butter (soft, not directly from the refrigerator),
  egg yolks and salt. Add the flour and make a soft mass. Form a roll
  with a dia- meter of about 5 cm. Cut slices of about 1 cm, press flat
  on your hand. Put an apricot (remove the kernel and put in a piece of
  sugar) on top of it and form a ball. Put into a pot of simmering,
  slightly salted water. Let simmer for about 10 minutes. Put
  breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon into a pan where you melted the
  butter and roast it until it takes a golden colour (you can also
  smell, when it is finished, but be careful it soon may be too late).
  Roll the balls in the roasted breadcrumbs, put powdered sugar above
  and eat very hot.
  
  The Apricot Balls (Marillenknoedel) are one of my favourite dishes.
  It is very popular in Austria.
