Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup farmer’s cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- A pinch of salt
- 2 cups seasonal fruit (e.g., strawberries or blueberries)
- ¼ cup sugar
- Splash of lemon juice
Instructions
- Make the dumpling dough: In a large bowl, combine farmer’s cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dumplings: Dust a clean surface with flour, pinch off small amounts of dough, and form balls.
- Cook the dumplings: In a pot, bring salted water to a gentle boil, drop in the dumplings, and cook until they float (3-5 minutes).
- Prepare the sweet compote: In a saucepan, simmer fruit, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until the syrup thickens (8-10 minutes).
- Serve and enjoy: Drizzle compote over warm dumplings and serve with optional garnishes like cinnamon or whipped cream.
Notes
Keep ingredients cold for lighter dumplings. Don’t overwork the dough to avoid density.
