Another popular dish is Kaiserschmarrn with applesauce, a sweet specialty made from airy pancake batter that is torn into pieces and served sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Austrian cuisine also features Krautfleckerl, a hearty dish of egg noodles prepared with herbaceous vegetables such as white cabbage or savoy cabbage.
Spinach dumplings, which are served with a rich cheese sauce, are also well known.
Not to be forgotten are the delicious Austrian desserts, such as apple strudel and Sachertorte, which are served with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
