Yummy! I used frozen cranberries and blueberries. I brushed on melted butter with a pastry brush and sprinkled with Spiced Sugar (look it up, it's on here.) -
I made this with Blueberries and subsitututed Cottage cheese for part skim ricotta.. Yum! -
My dough was quite sticky. It made for great fun with the kids but I think next time I'll add a bit more flour. We used apricots and dried plums and the kids couldn't get enough. The butter and cinnamon sugar at the end makes this dish worthwhile. Reviewed for ZWT4 -
I am leaving comments as this was my first venture with dumplings and I am not sure if my results can be attributed to user error or the recipe. Hoping this will be helpful for other dumpling novices. I halved this recipe and made it with nonfat cottage cheese as that was all I had. The dough was quite soft and sticky without the addition of milk so I left that out. Rolled it out to about a 1/4 thick and placed apricots in half and blueberries in the other half of what I guess were smallish dumplings as there were 10 all together. Cooked as directed and served with a raspberry/strawberry coulis. (Not a butter and sugar person.) The dough was not at all tender as i imagined it would be instead being toothy and dense. Not sure if this was due to the nonfat cottage cheese or what they should have been like. For a dessert, I would have like the dough to be sweeter as well and I do not like overly sweet. My other realization was the smaller dumplings yielded a poor ratio of fruit to dough and larger dumplings would have been better. For example, my apricot dumplings had about 1/3 of a large apricot and at a minimum 1/2 would have been better. I'm glad I tried these as I have always been curious about the dish. Thanks! -
Had an interesting time making these, as dumplings are something I don't usually do, & at that I made a double batch! Used both fresh plums & apricots, making some of one & some of the other, then, with 4 of the dumplings, I used half a plum & half an apricot in each ~ Gotta admit that I liked them all, & this IS a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for the Zingo part of the Zaar World Tour 4]!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change.
*****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing!
****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences.
***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work.
As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting!
BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional!
My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house!
