Simple preparation from A to Z

As for preparation of fruit dumplingsdon't expect any complexities. Start by pouring the prepared flour into the bowl and placing the yeast in the centre. Be sure to sugar everything and pour in about half the milk from the ingredients described above. Stir this all together and in about a quarter of an hour you will have a ready sourdough starter. You can pour in the remaining milk, add a pinch of salt and, last but not least, the egg. If you work all these ingredients thoroughly together, you will have the dough you need.

The dough must then rise. Ideally, it will take at least one hour. Only then do you knead it and start preparing the individual dumplings. When you have rolled out the dough, the pot becomes your tool. Use it to cut out the dough for the fruit dumplings. This is where you wrap the strawberries or other prepared fruit. Then the dumplings put in boiling water. Cook the dumplings for 6 minutes on one side and then the same time on the other. Turn them only when they float. When you take them out of the water, pierce them with a fork. You can then serve them drizzled with melted butter and sugared. Some people will use cottage cheese crumble.
