Anleitung

For the dumplings

  • With a blender or whisk, mix butter/margarine with an egg and a pinch of salt. Add curd cheese/farmer's cheese, breadcrumbs and flour and mix with a spoon or your hands for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Put to fridge for 1 hour.
  • Divide batter into 6 pieces and form slices. fill with apricots and seal well. To make sure the dumplings are sealed, roll them in your hands.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot (about 3 liters min.). Add a pinch of salt and the 6 dumplings. Cook for 12 minutes. (Not maximum heat but more than medium heat on stovetop)
    The dumplings are cooked when they float to the surface.

Roasted Breadcrumbs

  • While the dumplings are boiled, roast the breadcrumbs. Melt butter in a large pan. Add breadcrumbs and sugar. At medium heat, roast for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Stir constantly, they burn easily.
  • Drain dumplings and roll in breadcrumbs.

Serve

  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with lots of breadcrumbs. My grandmother serves them also with apricot jam, in case the dumplings are not sweet enough ;)
    Enjoy!

Notizen

Cream Cheese instead of curd cheese or farmer's cheese: use 250g of cream cheese (~ 1 cup) and add one more egg as well as 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and 3 tablespoons of flour to the original recipe.
