Macedonian Plum Dumplings
Check out these gorgeous plum dumplings! They’re like little pockets of joy filled with the sweetest plums. Perfect for serving up at a family gathering or just to treat yourself after a long day.
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized ripe plums
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- Butter (for frying)
- Cinnamon sugar (for serving)
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking!
- First off, wash those plums and cut a little slit on one side of each plum. This will make it easier to pit them.
- Once pitted, set the plums aside and let’s move on to the dough!
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.
- Then make a well in the center and add the egg and milk. Mix until you can form a soft dough. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in some more flour as needed.
- Now, take a small piece of dough and flatten it in your hand to create a circle, about 3-4 inches wide.
- Place one plum in the center, wrap the dough around it, and pinch it closed. Make sure the plum is fully sealed inside the dough.
- Repeat this with all the plums. Now you’re ready to cook!
- Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the dumplings in, being sure not to overcrowd the pot. They’ll float to the top when they’re cooked, which usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
- While the dumplings are cooking, melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the dumplings are cooked, transfer them to the skillet to get a nice golden-brown finish.
- Serve them warm, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for that sweet touch. Trust me, they’ll be gone before you know it!
