Dumplings with berry fillings are very tasty. Dumplings with raspberries are a delicious delicacy that any child will hardly refuse.

The making of dumplings is unique to each housewife, and if you have small children, this process can be turned into real fun. You can get together with the whole family and everyone will prepare dumplings of their own unique shape, and you can make a few with a secret - instead of the usual filling, make some special one.

For the test:
premium wheat flour - 5 cups
chicken eggs - 2 pcs.

white sugar - 2 tablespoons
curdled milk or kefir - 500 ml
soda - 1 teaspoon
vinegar - 1 teaspoon

Filling:
fresh raspberries - 2 cups

Dumplings with raspberries, recipe:

First, prepare the dough for dumplings. All products should be at room temperature. Beat chicken eggs into a bowl.

Beat eggs with a fork or whisk, add salt and sugar, pour in yogurt and vinegar. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

Gradually add flour and knead the dough, add soda. You need to knead the dough in a good mood, then the dumplings will turn out delicious. It should not stick to your hands, now leave it in a warm place for 10 minutes.

Here is a delicious filling for dumplings - ripe raspberries. In principle, according to this recipe, you can prepare dumplings with other berries - strawberries, cherries, blueberries, wild strawberries, black currants.

Time has passed, pinch off a piece of dough, sprinkle it with flour and make a sausage with a diameter of 4 centimeters. Now cut the sausage into pieces 1.5 centimeters thick and roll them in flour.

To prevent the filling from spreading all over the dumpling, add starch and sugar.

Now take a ring of dough, make a flat cake with your hands and put the filling. Carefully pinch the edges so that the filling does not leak out during cooking.

Some of the prepared raspberry dumplings can be immediately put in the freezer and left for tomorrow. Place a pan of water and add a little salt. As soon as the water boils, you can place the dumplings in the pan. When the dumplings float, set aside for 3 minutes and you can take them out.

Place the dumplings in a saucepan, sprinkling with sugar and brushing with butter. You can serve it with sour cream, honey or condensed milk. It is better to eat them hot, but even cold they do not lose their unique taste and aroma.

Since this is not the berry season, I used frozen raspberries, which I previously thawed at room temperature and drained the juice. By the way, you can make wonderful jelly or compote from the juice. The result was tasty, dense dumplings that held their shape perfectly and did not burst during cooking. It is better to serve dumplings with berry filling hot, immediately after cooking. I recommend trying it.

Prepare the ingredients for making raspberry dumplings according to the list.

Let's prepare the dough.

Pour room temperature kefir into a bowl. Beat in the egg and add a pinch of salt.

Using a fork or whisk, beat the mixture until smooth.

Add sifted flour in parts and knead the dough.

It should turn out soft, flexible, and not stick to your hands. Cover the dough with a towel and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Roll out the rested dough into a layer 5-6 mm thick. Using a glass or ring, cut out identical circles of the desired size. The larger the circle, the larger the dumpling.

Place a few raspberries in the middle of each circle. These dumplings can be made from fresh or frozen berries. If you have frozen raspberries, you need to defrost them at room temperature and drain off the excess juice. The juice is often used to make compote or jelly.

Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the raspberries. I added 1/3 teaspoon to each dumpling.

It is good to fasten the edges of each circle, forming dumplings. Use all the dough and filling this way.

Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil, add a little salt to the water and add dumplings to it. Stir gently so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes from the moment they float to the surface.

After cooking, remove the dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon or strainer. Place in a bowl and grease with butter. If you find the dumplings not very sweet, sprinkle more sugar on top.

Delicious, appetizing dumplings with raspberries are ready. Serve hot.

DOUGH

The dumplings are fluffy and airy due to the use of kefir and soda. The fact is that an oxidation reaction occurs, which is accompanied by the release of carbon dioxide bubbles, which, in turn, impart porosity and airiness. Only kefir should be acidified, even past its expiration date. You can do without it, but use an egg and a little sunflower oil and 1 tbsp. vinegar 9%. This dough also turns out to be very pliable and elastic. It is easy to shape, the edges are perfectly pinched and do not come apart during cooking. You can simply cook with water and flour, but the water should be hot, not cold, so that the gluten swells faster. This method is also often called “brewing.”

But no matter what recipe you use, the main rule is to let the dough rest a little before rolling it out. This is necessary for the gluten to swell. It is this that will make it elastic and will not stick to the rolling pin or tear during rolling.

BENEFITS OF STEAM COOKING

It has long been noted that steamed dishes are much healthier. Most often, vegetables are cooked in a double boiler to preserve the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients. But you can even cook dumplings and dumplings. They will turn out not only very healthy, but also tasty. After all, during the preparation of water, part of the taste and beneficial properties goes into the water. While steaming will naturally preserve them. Such dumplings turn out to be very juicy, since the juice from the fruit does not dissolve in water, but remains in the filling itself.
