Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Russet potatoes
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Semolina
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 10 Plums (small, ripe)
- 10 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly before mashing or ricing them into a smooth consistency. Let the mashed potatoes cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, flour, semolina, egg, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until manageable.
Wash the plums and remove the pits. Insert one teaspoon of granulated sugar into the center of each plum, then set them aside.
Dust your work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc, then place a sugared plum in the center. Gently wrap the dough around the plum, enclosing it completely, and roll it into a smooth ball.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the water, being sure not to overcrowd. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
While the dumplings are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them until golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and mix in the ground cinnamon, if using.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked dumplings to the skillet with the buttery breadcrumbs. Roll each dumpling in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Serve the dumplings warm, dusted with powdered sugar for garnish. Enjoy this comforting treat as a dessert or sweet main dish!
