Strawberry Dumplings
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Wash and dry the strawberries and remove the stems if needed. Halve larger berries lengthwise so they wrap more easily.
- 2
In a bowl, combine soft quark, eggs, salt, and most of the all-purpose flour. Work into a soft, non-sticky dough and incorporate the remaining flour as needed.
- 3
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each into a patty, place a strawberry in the center, seal the edges tightly, and form a smooth dumpling.
TIP:Before wrapping a strawberry in a dumpling, coat it with a thin layer of dough and carefully seal the edges so that it stays inside even during cooking.
Cooking
- 4
Pour water into a wide pot, add salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the water is just simmering to prevent the dumplings from tearing.
- 5
Add the dumplings in batches. After they rise to the surface, cook each batch for 4-5 minutes depending on size.
TIP:Add the dumplings to boiling salted water in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook each batch for 4-5 minutes after they float to the surface.
- 6
Remove cooked dumplings with a slotted ladle and let them drain briefly in a colander so they aren't watery.
Serving
- 7
Melt the butter. Divide the dumplings onto plates, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle with quark, and powdered sugar to taste.
- 8
Serve immediately while still warm. When cutting, use a fork and knife so the strawberry juice flows nicely.
More tips:
If the dough is too sticky, add flour by the tablespoon. Dough that is too stiff will remain gummy after cooking, so add flour sparingly.
