Here we are again – once a year I make myself go through this rigorous cooking procedure in order to keep this old Franconian dish called Krautspudel alive. It is not difficult to make, but it requires good time management and as I easily get distracted (just ask my kids how many Schnitzels I have burnt…), cooking is not one of my strengths.

This time I will not only take photos to add to this blog, but I will also add the recipe as well. Every year I end up looking for this recipe and trying to find it almost takes as long as getting the yeast dough to rise. This blog will be my recipe archive for my own future inquiries.

To make sure this cooking endeavor on Dec 24th – the day my brother comes – will come to a rise, my husband suggested to prepare a trial dinner on Dec 22nd. Can cooking get more serious than that…?

More tomorrow with photos and recipe!
