Servings: 16 dumplings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: European

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • 250 grams flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 kg plums
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 200 grams breadcrumbs

Method
 

  1. First step is to boil the potatoes. When they are cooked, you’ll need to remove the skin, and crush them while still hot until smooth (no lumps)
  2. When it cools down add the flour, 2 tbsp of the oil and the salt, and mix it all together (if you prefer to use eggs for the dough, you can add one egg yolk to it)
  3. Then you stretch the dough and cut it in 8x8 cm squares
  4. The next step is to remove the seeds from the plums and fill them with a mix of cinnamon and sugar
  5. You can put full or just half plum in each, and form balls out of them
  6. When they are ready, place them in boiling water and wait until they come up to the top
  7. When that happens, leave it there for another minute
  8. Mix the breadcrumbs with the other 2 tbsp of oil and roast until golden. When ready, add to a bowl with a little sugar if you prefer and roll the dumplings into that. Then serve
