Buchteln
Austrian sweet yeast buns filled with apricot jam.
About Buchteln
Buchteln are sweet yeast buns associated with Austrian baking. Tirol’s original recipe fills them with apricot jam, a traditional filling also documented by Austria’s food heritage register.
Milk, eggs and butter enrich the wheat dough, with sugar and vanilla sugar adding sweetness. Apricot jam provides the fruit centre, and apricot schnapps remains an optional dough ingredient.
The buns sit closely together in their baking dish, giving them their characteristic joined shape. Tirol presents them warm with icing sugar, with vanilla sauce as an optional accompaniment.
