Variations

Want to make this recipe **gluten-free** or **vegan**? No problem, we’ve got you covered! 🌱💖
  • Gluten-Free Version: Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it’s a 1:1 substitution to get the best result. Rice flour or almond flour can also work, but you might need to experiment with the consistency.
  • Vegan Version: Substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based ricotta or tofu for a similar texture. Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) instead of the egg white. Ensure your other ingredients, like sugar and vanilla, are vegan-friendly too.
Now, everyone can enjoy these tempting dumplings, from those avoiding gluten to those embracing a vegan lifestyle. **Happy cooking!** 🍽️💕

Faq

  • 1. How do I know when the dumplings are cooked?

    As soon as the dumplings float to the surface, cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes. They should be firm but not hard.

  • 2. Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

  • 3. How sticky should the dough be?

    The dough will be a bit sticky but manageable. Dusting your hands with a little flour can help while shaping the dumplings.

  • 4. Can I prepare the dumplings in advance?

    Definitely, shape the dumplings and store them in the fridge for a few hours before boiling. You can also freeze them for longer storage and cook directly from frozen.

  • 5. Can I use other fillings instead of blueberries?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like raspberries, cherries, or even a dollop of jam.

  • 6. How can I make the dumplings extra soft?

    Adding a little bit more cottage cheese or a splash of milk can make the dough softer. Just make sure it doesn’t get too sticky.
