Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the dough for dumplings with cottage cheese and cherries. Sift the flour and salt through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Gradually pour warm water into the center of the slide, kneading the dough with a fork.

Step 2

Then knead the dough for dumplings with your hands (it should be very soft). Add some more water if necessary. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a bowl. Cover with cling film and leave for 40 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the stuffing for the dumplings. Wash the cherries and remove the pits. Lightly beat the cottage cheese with a fork with yolk and sugar. Add cherries and stir.

Step 4

Roll out the dough for dumplings on a table dusted with flour into a thin layer. Cut out circles with a diameter of 5 cm with a glass or a mold. Put a little stuffing in the center of each and pinch the edge with a pigtail.

Step 5

Bring a large amount of drinking water to a boil in a wide saucepan (dumplings should float freely in it). Add salt and stir. Reduce heat to medium.

Step 6

Dip dumplings with cottage cheese and cherries in boiling water. Boil 3-4 minutes after rising to the surface. Drain the finished dumplings in a colander and let the liquid drain. Divide among plates. Can be served with sour cream.
