Salzburger nockerl is a sweet dish typical of Austrian cuisine that is especially popular in Salzburg, as its name implies. It has a subtle sweet taste; it is not too sugary but still delights the taste buds whenever you eat it. You can serve it as a main course, as a dessert, or even with coffee and tea, and there are hardly any people who do not like it.
