Additional Info

Tips:
You have to mince apples very thin, if you want to obtain clearly-formed strudel. Stuffingi has to be well-stirred, and at the same time stuffing in made-strudel has to be crumbly, not hard-packed.

To make vanilla sauce:
Heat milk with pinch of vanilla. Whiski 1 egg yolk with 30 g powdered sugar, 10 g starch and 5 tablespoons cool milk. Pour it into hot milk and stir well. Whisk egg white and add to hot sauce, stir again and let thicken.
