This recipe for vegan apricot dumplings from potato dough is really easy to make and tastes heavenly! The dough only contains 2 ingredients: potatoes and starch.
Vorbereitungszeit 40 Minuten
Arbeitszeit 40 Minuten
Portionen 6 to 8 dumplings

Zutaten

For the dumplings:

  • 1 lbs floury potatoes e.g. for mashed potatoes [~450 gram]
  • ½ cup potato starch alternatively also corn starch [~65 gram]
  • 6-8 apricots depending on size
  • 6-8 sugar cubes optional

For the breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs unsalted, unflavored [~200 gram]
  • 2 tablespoons neutral fat canola oil, rapeseed oil or vegan butter, vegan margarine - coconut oil is also possible,
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar optional
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling optional

Anleitung

Cook and press potatoes

  • Boil potatoes (with peel) and a pinch of salt until soft. Let cool unpeeled (best the day before). Press through a potato ricer or alternatively grate or mash with a potato masher or fork. (do not mix in a blender!).

Knead potato dough

  • Immediately after pressing the potatoes, add the starch and knead with your hands into a smooth dough.
    Kneading in a mixer is not necessary, because the dough should be kneaded only very briefly and would not form so well in the mixer.
    Do not knead the dough too long, otherwise it will lose its elasticity. Only knead until it holds together well.
    If freshly cooked potatoes were used, you may need to incorporate a little more starch. While doing this, gradually knead in more starch until the dough doesn't stick to your hands as much, but still holds together well.
  • You can cover and let rest for 10-20 minutes for better binding.

Shape dumplings

  • In the meantime, while the dumplings are being formed, a large pot of water should already be brought to a boil on the stove. Lightly salt the water.
  • The apricots can be used directly with their stone or with a piece of sugar cube in the middle. To do this, press out the core with the handle of a wooden spoon. Then press a piece of sugar cube into the apricot instead of the stone.
  • Divide the dough into equal sized pieces and shape each piece into a round disk.
    If the dough is still very sticky, sprinkle the work surface and your hands with a bit of flour (or starch).
    Place an apricot in the center of each slice and close well. The dough should not have a hole at any point and should enclose the apricot evenly. Roll round with hands or on work surface.
  • As soon as possible after shaping, put dumplings into boiling water and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. For frozen apricots a little longer. The dumplings should always simmer gently, but not stop cooking completely.

Toast breadcrumbs

  • In the meantime (or earlier) roast the breadcrumbs: Heat the fat in a large frying pan and roast the breadcrumbs with vanilla sugar on medium heat until golden brown, stirring constantly.
  • Strain the cooked dumplings and serve with powdered sugar - Enjoy!
