  • 25g melted butter

Method

• all ingredients have to be at room temperature
• mix sugar, milk and yeast and let them rest for 5 minutes
• mix with the flour, egg, salt and butter, cover and let the dough rest for 30-60 min in a warm place
• start heating 2-3 l of water with 1/2 tbs of salt
• in the meat time cut the dough in 4 and from each piece meld a round ball with a teaspoon of jam inside. Make sure the ball does not leaks.
• when the water is boiling gently put the balls inside, cover and let them boil for 10 minutes. The balls will float, turn them on the other side once. In a medium size pot you will be able to boil only 2 dumplings at the same time as they expand about 200%
