How to cook dumplings with cherries for your near and dear ones? The answer to this question can be found below. It is worth noting that not only adults, but also children will be happy with such a tasty and simple dish. Indeed, boiled "crescents" with berry filling are sweet and very satisfying.
Step-by-step recipe for making dumplings with cherries
Essential Ingredients:
- shallow sea salt - ½ dessert spoon;
- large chicken eggs - 3 pcs.;
- low-fat kefir (two percent) - ½ cup;
- filtered drinking water - ½ cup;
- wheat flour - from one glass (at personal discretion);
- fresh pitted cherries - 700 g;
- granulated sugar - 1 faceted glass.
Kneading process
Before you cook dumplings with cherries, you should first make a cool base. To do this, combine in one bowl 3 eggs, fine sea salt, low-fat kefir, cooled boiling water and wheat flour. All products must be thoroughly mixed to a steep state (the base should turn out like dumplings). Further, the dough is recommended to be placed in a plastic bag and kept there until the filling is ready.
Berry processing
To understand how to cook dumplings with cherries quickly and tasty, you should remember that in childhood such a dish was made exclusively from fresh and ripe berries. If you started this lunch out of season, then an frozen product is quite suitable for it. He needs to thaw. After you need to remove the seeds from the berries, fill with sugar and let it brew (so that the juice begins to stand out). It should be noted right away that we do not need syrup to prepare such a sweet dish. It can be used separately for cooking compote or fruit drink.
Semi-finished products
Tasty dumplings with cherries (lean) must be done as follows: from the dough that comes up, you need to pinch off ¼ of the piece, roll it into a thin sheet, and then cut it into circles with a diameter of up to five centimeters. To do this, it is better to use a glass or a small glass. Next, in each piece of dough, place 1 dessert spoon of the cherry filling (squeezing the juice), and then beautifully pinch the edges, giving the semi-finished product the appearance of a crescent. The remaining base is also processed.
Heat treatment
In order to properly boil dumplings with cherries, 3 liters of water should be boiled in a saucepan, having previously salted it. When the liquid begins to boil violently, it is necessary to lay out 20-30 semi-finished products in it one by one (depending on the size of the dishes). It is undesirable to overfill the pan with dumplings, since during the cooking process they will stick together, and the dish will turn out not as appetizing as we would like. After the dough with the filling comes up, it is advisable to boil it for about 3-5 minutes, and then remove it with a slotted spoon.
Proper serving for dinner
Now you know how to make cherry dumplings. They are recommended to be presented to family members in a hot condition. It is also desirable to serve thick 30% sour cream and wheat bread for this sweet berry dish.
