Austrian Fruit Dumplings made of Choux Pastry
Simple instructions for boiled choux pastry dumplings with toasted breadcrumbs. Choux pastry is easy to make and provides a very elastic dumpling dough that makes the dumplings really easy to shape. The recipe can be used for plum dumplings, apricot dumplings, strawberry dumplings, etc.
Zutaten
For the dumplings
- 1 cup water 250 ml
- ¼ stick butter 30 gram, ~ 2 tablespoons
- pinch salt
- 1+¾ cup all purpose flour 200 gram
- 8 plums or strawberries 4-6 apricots
For the breadcrumbs
- ½ stick butter 60 gram, ~4 tablespoons
- 1-2 cups breadcrumbs unsalted, unflavoured
- ¼ cup sugar 60 gram, ~4 tablespoons
- pinch of cinnamon optional
Further
- powdered sugar
Anleitung
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with the butter and a pinch of salt.
- Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir well until the dough separates from the pot.
- Remove from heat and knead in one egg.Allow to cool.
- In the meantime, melt butter in a pan. Toast breadcrumbs and optional sugar and cinnamon over medium heat until golden brown. Always stay by the pan and stir constantly so the crumbs don't burn.
- Divide the dough into equal sized pieces. Form the dumplings: Shape the pieces into round sclices and place the fruit in the middle of each one. Close the dumpling and press together well. With both of your hands, roll until round.
- Boil in slightly salted water for about 15 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Strain and roll in the crumbs.
Notizen
For apricots, the dough is enough for 4-6 dumplings, depending on the size. For strawberries, plums and similar small fruits for about 8 dumplings.
You can mix the breadcrumbs as you like or replace them entirely with other toppings such as grated walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, poppy seeds, hemp seeds,...
