Sour cherry dumplings: Приготування

Крок 1

Make the dough for the dumplings. Mix flour with eggs, salt, sugar, kefir or thin plain yoghurt and baking soda. The dough has to be soft, elastic and not sticky. Form a dough ball, move gently to an oiled bowl, and cover with a towel. Leave it to rest for 15-20 minutes.

Крок 2

In the meantime, make the filling. Pit the cherries (if you are cooking the dumplings out of season, defrost the cherries first). Add 1 tbsp. sugar and semolina.

Крок 3

Fold the dumplings by wrapping about a tablespoonful of cherries in a rolled out piece of dough. You can add decorative pleats to the edge when folding the dumpling together.

Крок 4

Cook in salted water until the dumplings float to the top. Remove them from boiling water and sprinkle them with sugar to make sure that they don’t stick. Drizzle with melted unsalted butter. Serve with sour cream or cherry sauce (kysil).
