3 regional specialties from Schladming-Dachstein
A vacation in Austria and especially in Styria is not only an experience for mountaineers and hikers, but also for connoisseurs. Culinary highlights that are deeply rooted in Styrian tradition await you at the mountain huts and inns. In this blog, we present three dishes that you absolutely must try: Ennstaler Steirerkrapfen, Miasl and Ennstaler Steirerkas.
The classic from the Enns Valley
Styrian doughnuts
The Ennstal Steirerkrapfen is a true specialty and a piece of home for the inhabitants of the Enns Valley.
Traditionally, the doughnut dough is made with rye flour, which is why the doughnuts are often referred to as "Die Roggernen". The plate-sized flatbreads are fried in hot fat and then served with spicy Styrian cheese, potatoes and sauerkraut.
👉 This specialty from the Enns Valley always tastes best fresh and prepared directly on the mountain pasture. You can't compare or describe the taste, you simply have to try it!
Few ingredients and great taste
Miasl
Fancy something sweet? Miasl usually consists of milk, flour and butter. Traditionally, Miasl was a dish for dairymen and woodworkers who needed something nutritious that would keep them full for a long time.
👉 Today it is a true alpine specialty - hearty, regional and perfect for replenishing your energy stores after a hike or ski tour.
The spicy specialty of the mountain pastures
Ennstal Steirerkas
Ennstaler Steirerkas - a culinary landmark of the region
Ennstaler Steirerkas is a real specialty of Styrian alpine cuisine. It is traditionally produced on the mountain pastures, on farms or in regional cheese dairies. It takes three weeks to mature. This is when it acquires its unique gray-brown marbled appearance and lumpy, crumbly consistency. Steirerkas is particularly popular for its spicy aroma, which makes it the ideal ingredient for Steirerkasnock'n, on Steirerkas bread or in Steirerkrapfen - but also for other culinary creations such as in soups or on spreads.
👉 Anyone who tries Steirerkas once is guaranteed not to forget its strong, unmistakable taste.
