Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Semolina
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Fresh apricots
- 8 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 liters Water
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, then mash them until smooth and let them cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, semolina, egg yolk, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, but avoid overworking it.
Wash and cut the apricots in half, removing the pits. Place 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar inside the cavity of each apricot half.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc, place a sugared apricot half in the center, and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely to form a dumpling.
Bring 2 liters of water to a gentle boil in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy. Optionally, stir in cinnamon for extra flavor.
Gently roll the cooked dumplings in the toasted breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Serve the dumplings warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
