Baked dumplings are an original and cozy version of a traditional Russian dish. Their roots go back to ancient times when dumplings were considered a symbol of family warmth and unity. In this recipe, classic dumplings take on a new form, soaking in a creamy sour cream sauce with aromatic spices and fresh herbs. Baking gives the dish a crispy crust on top and tenderness inside, while melted cheese creates an appetizing stretchiness. This version of dumplings is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family evening, complemented by fresh vegetables or a light salad. The dish impresses with its rich flavor and aroma, while the simple cooking method makes it accessible even for beginners in the kitchen.
