➡️ Tips for the Hungarian plum dumplings recipe 🔎
When it comes to plum dumplings, many people would include them among cake recipes because consider them a dessert. However, in Hungary, a significant number of persons eat plum dumplings as a main dish, not dessert.
Making plum dumplings is easy if you know several cooking tips to avoid mistakes and ruin your work in the kitchen.
The first tip is to use autumn potatoes which contain much amidine and little water.
Second, after boiling, mash potatoes thoroughly and wait to cool completely before adding eggs. If potatoes are still lukewarm, the dough won’t be fluffy and elastic but rather gummy and thick!
Third, use juicy, ripe plums. Fresh plums are the best, but you still can use frozen plums or canned plums if you don’t have fresh fruit at hand. In the plum season, I use to put in the freezer bags with plums to make dumplings in winter. The final result is almost the same as the version with fresh plums.
Another golden cooking tip is to boil dumplings in a large quantity of water. This avoids that the dumplings stick to each other and boil properly, respectively to rise to the surface when they are ready for serving.
Finally, fry bread crumbs until slightly golden, not brown. When the color is brown, the breadcrumb is already burned and has a bitter taste.
And the last advice – serve the plums while are hot and sprinkle abundantly powdered vanilla sugar over them to enjoy the best flavors!
Enjoy Hungarian plum dumplings!
