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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, then mash them until smooth and let them cool completely.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, semolina, egg yolk, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, but avoid overworking it.
Step 4
Wash and cut the apricots in half, removing the pits. Place 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar inside the cavity of each apricot half.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Bring 2 liters of water to a gentle boil in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Gently roll the cooked dumplings in the toasted breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Step 10
Serve the dumplings warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
