Dumplings with Plums / Knedle ze Śliwkami

During the plum season, dumplings are a must on my table. Just use boiled potatoes, eggs, a tablespoon of potato flour and flour to make potato cake. Add sweet Hungarian plums to the center of the ball and cook for a few minutes. Isn't it really simple and quick to make? Whenever I prepare them, I always remember the carefree taste of childhood during holidays.
Traditional plum dumplings are a quick and cheap sweet dinner for the whole family. You can make this real delicacy in just under an hour.

Ingredients

  • 400 grams plums (preferably small)
  • 1 kg cooked potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 grams all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons potato flour
  • 3 tablespoons sweet butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon or vanilla (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream or plain yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  • It is best to grind the boiled potatoes or put them through a press while still slightly warm. You can also use potatoes left over from dinner, even 2 days ago (kept in the fridge). I prefer them while still warm after cooking because they are softer.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the ground potatoes - the egg, both flours and a pinch of salt. Mix all well. There should be no lumps.
  • Place the dumpling dough on a floured board. Roll them out with your hands into a string about 4 cm thick. Cut neat dumplings with a knife, about 3 cm long. Flatten each dumpling in your hand. Place washed, pitted and slightly dried plums inside - one plum per dough ball. If you have bigger plums, cut them in to halves or quarters. Seal the edges well. Form a neat ball in your hands. Prepare all dumplings in this way. I made 25 pieces.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil and salt it when it starts to boil.
  • Place the dumplings in boiling water. Immediately, lightly and carefully stir the noodles. After the dumplings float to the top, wait another 4 minutes. Remove all the dumplings, drain excess water and place them on a large plate. 
  • Finally, melt the butter in a small pan, add the granulated sugar and mix until dissolved. Cover the dumplings with the butter and sugar mixture. Add some sour cream and you're ready to eat.
  • ENJOY and SMACZNEGO AS ALWAYS!!!
