Germknödel (Script error: No such module "IPA". in Austrian German) is a fluffy yeast dough dumpling (knödel),[1] filled with spiced plum jam and served with melted butter and a mix of poppy seeds and sugar on top. It is occasionally, even though less traditional, served with vanilla cream sauce instead. It is a culinary specialty of Austria and Bavaria. The dish is served both as a dessert and as a main course.

Germknödel is usually a spherical or bun-shaped dessert. The dessert's main ingredient is a yeast dough enriched with sugar and fat, usually butter. The dumpling is filled with Powidl, a sweet plum jam flavoured with cloves and cinnamon. The dumpling is steamed and served while hot with melted butter or vanilla sauce, and topped with crushed poppy seeds and sugar.

Differences between Austrian Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang". being the exclusively Austrian word for yeast) and the very similar German and Alsatian dish, Dampfnudel, are that Dampfnudeln are the unfilled variant and can in some regions also be steamed or boiled in salt water and served with savoury side dishes, whereas Bavarian Dampfnudeln and Austrian Germknödel are steamed (and in the end of the cooking process, as the milk has evaporated, become lightly fried) in a small amount of a mixture of milk and butter and always served as a sweet meal.

Steamed sweet dumplings (Script error: No such module "Lang".) are also a typical food in Slovakia and Czechia, usually filled with plum marmalade and often served during winter by ski resort restaurants.
