Blueberry Fruit Dumplings
Ingredients
Step by step process
Dough and shaping
- 1
Start the fruit dumplings with the quark dough. In a bowl, mix soft quark with the egg and a pinch of salt, then gradually work in the plain flour. Knead a soft, non-sticky dough and let it rest for 10 minutes under a tea towel.

Roll the rested dough out on a floured board and cut it into squares. Place a spoonful of blueberries on each, seal the edges carefully and shape smooth balls. Make sure there are no gaps, or the filling will leak out.
Cooking and serving
- 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Drop the dumplings in gently and cook for about 10 minutes, until they float to the surface. A gentle simmer keeps them from bursting.
- 4
Lift the cooked dumplings out with a slotted spoon and let them drain. Serve them warm, drizzled with melted butter and generously dusted with quark and powdered sugar. They taste best right away.
More tips:
Instead of quark dough, try potato dough for heartier, more traditional dumplings.
Roll the blueberries lightly in caster sugar before filling. They hold their shape better and release less juice.
