Semolina Dumpling with Plum Roaster

, , , , , ,

These semolina dumplings are fluffy, soft and sooo delicious! We love these dumplings. Can be served after a soup for lunch, or as dessert in the evening.

With the “side dish” compote, roaster or fruit sauce, you can create a great variety. Also very tatsty with a plum-roaster – as here – an apple-compote, apple-sauce, elder roaster or strawberry sauce.

These semolina dumplings are really easy to prepare and can also be prepared in advance, ideal if you eat them as a dessert. All you have to do before serving is, put the dumplings in boiling water and roll them into the breadcrumbs.

You absolutely have to try them. They are soo yummy!!!!

Strawberry Dumplings

How nice the strawberry season is! We love the little red fruits! The strawberry fields are full and just waiting to be picked and nibbled.

In Austria, we like to have sweet food for lunch, such as apricot dumplings, potato fingers or apfelschlangerl. The list could go on forever. 🙂
Today we have strawberry dumplings.
Main course or dessert, they are wonderful.

They just taste so delicious! Can’t stop eating!

The dough is simple and fast to do. (No need for it to rest.) Then the strawberries are placed in the middle of the dumplings. Placed in boiling hot water, before being rolled in delicious cinnamon crumbs. Ready to eat!! Give it a try!

Apricot dumplings

On her last visit my sister brought me a huge amount of apricots from Austria, to my joy! We had to use them soon, since they normally turn bad fast. Of course we started with eating some of them 🙂 . And the Kids had lots of fun throwing the seeds all over our garden.
