Plum Strudel
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Making a plum strudel is no more difficult than an apple strudel, but you’ll get a completely different flavor, and how to prepare it, see the step‑by‑step recipe. When preparing the dough, you can increase the amount of flour slightly if the dough isn’t firm enough, as this depends on the moisture of the flour used. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
