Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Here is an easy recipe for "Metternich" pastries. The classic version uses boiled rice, but I replaced it with ham (sorry, vegetarians), and it turned out even better! These pastries are sometimes served alongside the traditional Austrian soup—delicious together! Have a wonderful day. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
