Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Pour cream into a 9-inch pie plate or shallow gratin dish and spoon lingonberry sauce into cream in dollops (it will be sparse).
- Put egg whites and salt in a bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of hot water and stir whites to warm to room temperature, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from hot water. Beat whites with an electric mixer at high speed until they just form soft peaks, then beat in granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until whites just form stiff, glossy peaks. Sprinkle flour over meringue and fold in gently but thoroughly. Whisk together egg yolks and vanilla in a small bowl, then fold into whites gently but thoroughly.
- Spoon large dollops of meringue onto cream mixture and bake until golden brown and set, 13 to 15 minutes. If you prefer a less creamy soufflé, bake 5 minutes more. Dust lightly with confectioners sugar and cool 5 minutes before serving.
SALZBURGER NOCKERL
My Dad enjoyed this dessert as a young soldier shortly after WWII. For years he would ask for this dessert in restaurants only to be told that they were not familiar with the recipe. I found this recipe and made it for him for Father's Day this year, with great success. I decided to post it here so that I'll be able to find the recipe again, the next time Dad (or anyone else in my family) wants it. It is a light, lemony dessert - much like a souffle. I made it as listed below, except that I increased the lemon zest to the zest of a full large lemon. From the Time-Life book, Cooking of Vienna's Empire.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, break the egg yolks up with a fork and stir in the vanilla and lemon peel. Sprinkle the flour over the yolk mixture.
- In another bowl, using a wire whisk or rotary or electric beater, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they cling to the beater. Add the sugar and bet until the whites form stiff, unwavering peaks. With a rubber spatula, stir an overflowing tablespoon of the whites into the yolk-and-flour mixture, then reverse the process and fold the yolk mixture into the rest of the egg whites, using an over-under cutting motion instead of a mixing motion. Don't overfold.
- Generously butter an oval or oblong 8 by 10 inch baking dish attractive enough to serve from. Using the rubber spatula, make 3 mounds of the mixture in the dish. Bake the Nockerl in the middle of the oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is lightly brown on the outside but still soft on the inside. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour the warm raspberry jam into a 7 by 11-inch baking dish. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ounce of sugar, and tapioca flour. Add the egg yolks, Grand Marnier, orange zest and lemon zest. Whisk until light in color.
- In an electric mixer, fitted with a wire whisk, beat together the egg whites and 1 ounce of sugar to soft peaks. Then, add the remaining 5 ounces of sugar in a slow, steady stream and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
- Stir 1/3 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture to blend. Fold in the remaining meringue and continue to gently mix until well blended.
- Spoon into 3 equal mounds over the raspberry jam, shaping to resemble the 3 mountains of Salzburg. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden and risen like a souffle. Serve immediately with extra raspberry jam and Creme Anglaise.
- In a small saute pan, combine 6 ounces of raspberries, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes, whisking vigorously to break apart the raspberries. The mixture should resemble a loose jam. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 6 ounces of raspberries, stirring gently until well coated.
SALZBURGER NOCKERLN WITH PRESERVES
Salzburger Nockerln, or "Salzburg Dumplings," is a sweet soufflé or omelet that resembles three or more golden church domes in a baking dish. It is an easy recipe that is great breakfast or brunch idea as well as a dessert. I make vanilla sugar by putting a vanilla bean in a container with sugar, it sits in my pantry.... you could either buy vanilla sugar already made or just add real vanilla extract to the sugar. This is especially good with Vanilla Sauce, warm Chocolate Sauce, or cold Strawberry Sauce.

Steps:
- Make the raspberry jam. In a small sauté pan, combine 6 ounces of raspberries, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes, whisking vigorously to break apart the raspberries. The mixture should resemble a loose jam. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 6 ounces of raspberries, stirring gently until well coated. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Tips:
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them reach their full volume.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
- Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
- Once the egg whites are stiff and glossy, stop whipping and fold in the egg yolks one at a time.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the nockerln tough.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the batter into mounds on a baking sheet.
- Bake the nockerln in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve the nockerln immediately, dusted with powdered sugar.
