Instructions

Step 1

Make the Filling

Mix the berries with the sugar, ensuring the berries stay whole.

Step 2

Prepare the Dough

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a small well in the flour and crack the egg into it.
Using a fork, mix the egg into the flour.
Gradually add water in a thin stream while continuing to stir the mixture with the fork until it thickens.
Knead the dough by hand on a working surface, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Assemble the Dumplings

Roll out the dough and cut out circles using a glass, cookie cutter, or pastry ring.
Fill and seal the dumplings.
Freeze the dumplings if desired.

Step 4

Cook and Serve

Boil the dumplings and serve with sour cream and honey.

Servings

Once you've carefully boiled these beautiful dumplings, the possibilities for serving are endless! To enhance the flavors, pair them with a generous dollop of rich, velvety sour cream, and a drizzle of sweet golden honey 🍯. The combination of creamy, tangy, and sweet is absolutely divine.

Variations

If you're catering to dietary restrictions or preferences, don't worry! Here are some gluten-free and vegan variations for you:

💡 For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend. Make sure your blend contains xanthan gum or add a teaspoon to get the right texture.

💡 To make this recipe vegan, skip the egg and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) instead. Replace the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.

With these adjustments, everyone can enjoy these delightful dumplings without missing out on any of the flavor!

Faq

  • How do I prevent the dough from sticking?

    Ensure you knead the dough on a well-floured surface and add extra flour as needed to keep it from sticking.

  • Can I use frozen berries?

    Yes, you can use frozen berries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

  • How long can I freeze the dumplings?

    You can freeze the dumplings for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, boil them straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.

  • What’s the best way to seal the dumplings?

    Use a fork to press down the edges or pinch them together with your fingers to create a tight seal and prevent the filling from leaking.

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough a day ahead. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.

  • What other fillings can I use?

    Feel free to get creative! Other fruit fillings like apple or cherry work wonderfully. You can even try savory options like cheese or mushrooms.
