Czech Plum Dumplings

One of my family heritage (Czech) foods is plum dumplings. We can only make them once a year when the small plums are in season. While my sister was in town, we decided to try it to make it ourselves for the first time. We also wanted our Dad to be able to have the recipe one last time. Unlike years previously, we also needed to expand on the original recipe due to food allergy my sister and I's needs. So we sorta embarked on a new tradition. Here goes:

Our list of ingredients

Boil 8 medium sized potatoes

Take off skin while hot

Mush potatoes add flour, breadcrumbs, and knead

Wash plums, cut length wise and take out pits

Roll dough out and cut into 4x4 squares

Place plum in center with cut end up

Spoon cinnamon and sugar

Butter everyone needs butter, 1 T. pushed in, pinch dough to close and make dumpling

Drop dumpling in boiling water for 20 min

Place boiled dumplings in baking rectangle

Add extra butter and remaining plums

Sprinkle on remaining cinnamon sugar all over dumplings

Bake an hr on 350

Yummm the final product!

Next year, we are going to try to fry and layer in baking pan. Can't wait for next year!
