Ovocné Knedlíky
Tender fruit dumplings with buttery crumbs and a shower of sugar.
Ingredients
- 400 g Potatoes
- 40 g Semolina
- 120 g All Purpose Flour
- 1 pcs Egg
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 6 pcs Plums
- 50 g Unsalted Butter
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Sugar
Method
- Rice the cold {potatoes} into a large bowl, add {semolina}, {all_purpose_flour}, {egg} and {salt}, then mix gently into a soft dough just until it comes together. Keep handling light so the dumplings stay tender rather than gummy.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough, wrap it around the {plums}, and seal well so no juice can escape during cooking. Roll each dumpling smooth with lightly floured hands.
- Bring a wide pot of water to a gentle boil over medium heat, add {salt}, lower in the dumplings, and simmer until they float and the dough is set but still tender. Lift them out carefully so they do not tear.
- Melt {unsalted_butter} in a skillet over medium heat, add {breadcrumbs}, and stir for a few minutes until deeply golden and nutty. Add a little {sugar} at the end so the crumbs caramelize lightly without burning.
- Toss the hot dumplings in the toasted {breadcrumbs}, plate them immediately, and finish with the remaining {sugar} for a sweet, delicate crust.
