Recipe Introduction


Plum Dumplings


List of Ingredients




For the dough:

* About 4 medium potatoes (400 grams)
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring board
* 1 large egg
* 1/4 cup farina, such as uncooked Cream of Wheat
* Salt, to taste

For the filling:

* Fresh plums, pitted, cut in half if large, as desired
* Granulated sugar, to taste

For the topping:

* About 2 tablespoons butter
* Fine dry bread crumbs, to taste
* Ground cinnamon (optional)
* Granulated sugar (optional)

Recipe



Cook the unpeeled potatoes in boiling water to cover until done. While the potatoes still are warm, peel and mash. Add 2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup flour, the egg, farina and salt, and work into a smooth dough.

Roll out on a floured board and cut into 3- or 4-inch squares about 1/8-inch thick. Place a plum in a square and add sugar to taste. Using floured hands, close the dough over the plum and form into a dumpling.

Pour enough water into a pot to cover the dumplings and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste. When the water returns to a boil -- if it is not hot enough, the dumplings will stick to the pot -- add the dumplings and cook for about 15 minutes. The dumplings will rise to the top.

Melt about 2 tablespoons butter and roast the bread crumbs. Strain the dumplings and either roll in the bread crumbs or pour the bread crumbs over the dumplings.

If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
