Flädle is a special dish from southern Germany. It comes from the Schwaben region and is made from thin, savory pancakes.

In Austria, there's a similar dish called Frittaten. The word Frittaten comes from the Italian word frittata, which means "frying." Frittaten are usually a bit thicker than Flädle. In other parts of Germany, Flädle is known as Eierkuchensuppe. This name comes from the local word for a type of pancake called Eierkuchen.

What is Flädle Made Of?

Flädle are made like very thin pancakes, similar to crepes. These pancakes are also known as Palatschinken. They are cooked until they are light and flexible.

How is Flädle Prepared?

After the thin pancakes are cooked, they are carefully rolled up very tightly. Once rolled, they are sliced into small, thin coils. These coils look a bit like noodles or ribbons.

How is Flädle Served?

Flädle is most often served in a clear soup. This soup is usually a light beef broth. When served this way, the dish is called Flädlessuppe. The thin pancake coils add a unique texture and flavor to the warm soup.
