Fritatensuppe, thats probably belongs to the most popular soups in Austria.
Its normally a beef soup (you can take beef soup/ bouillon cube if you happen not have the motivation or time to boil a beef soup on your own), with Fritaten cut into strips and put into the soup.
Fritaten are cut Palatschinken which is the Austrian version of crepes.



The recipe:

Fritaten
12 dkg flour (roughly half a cup I guess)
one egg
3/16 liter milk
salt

The salted flour is well mixed with a part of the milk, than the egg is added and the rest of the milk. The dough you get from that is than fried in the pan.

For this put just very little oil into it make it very hot, put dough into the pan and distribute it through pivoting the pan. The dough should bild a thin layer in the pan. Wait until one side is gold-yellow then turn it and when the other side has the same colour the Palatschinken is finished, and you can make in the same pan the next one.
After a few Palatschinken you might add very little oil again, to grant that it gets not burned.

The Palatschinken could now be filled with jam etc, but as their dedication is to get into the soup you half them in the middle, roll up those halfs and cut those rolls into strips across.


You put these Fritaten into a beef soup. If you do not want to make a beef soup simply boil some water and add a beef bouillon from the supermarket and salt and pepper at your taste. I would recommend also to add some fresh and small cut chive and fresh parsley if available.

Looks good. Like a lot of work though. I'll probably try the other recipes first.

Which I'm starting to get pretty ready to DO :-)

Maybe I'll get time this or next weekend to make something. If I DO, I'll post a reveiw.

Does it really sound like so much work? Thats because I described it so much in detail I guess.

Its not such a large deal. You make the dough for all Fritaten, in the meanwhile you can already set up the water to heat it up. Than you make the Palatschinken in the pan, in the meanwhile the water will be boiling you add the bouillon cube turn off the plates, cut the Fritaten put them in the soup and you are finished.

I would say, it should be doable in 15-20 min. From an Australian girl who was my neighbour for some time I know that this recipe is at least in Australia completely unknown but she loved it really much.

PS:
Fritaten are not only great in beef soups but in case you make a chicken soup, they also make a great addition.
