Instructions

Make the dough

  • In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, salt, eggs and soft butter. You can use hands or dough mixer until smooth.
  • Heat the milk to lukewarm (I am using 2 out of 10), add small crumbs of fresh yeast and sugar. Wisk until yeast dissolves. Remove from the heat immediately and mix the mixture very slowly with the flour mixture.
  • Form a dough form a bowl - if the dough is too sticky you can add 1 tbsp of flour to it. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 45 minutes.

Make the filling

  • Pour sour cherry juice into a casserole, add starch and sugar and mix it with a whisk until dissolves. Turn the heat to medium and wait until the sauce thickens. Add the cherries and set the sauce aside.

Make the dumplings

  • Flour the surface, roll the dough into a thick log and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Take each piece and form a circle. While holding the dough in our hand add 1 tbsp or cherry sauce mixture and fold the dough so the filling doesn't come out. Flip it around and form round dumplings.
  • When your dumplings are ready cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Steam the dumplings

  • Transfer the dumplings into a steam basket and place it in a large pot filled with water (I am using 800ml). Bring it to boil, turn the temperature to medium (I am using 5 out of 10), close the lid and steam it for 15 minutes.

Serve

  • Serve with cold vanilla sauce and poppy seeds on the top.
