Baked dumplings

2 servings

Baked dumplings are an amazing combination of airiness and a delicate creamy flavor. Unlike traditional dumplings, they are baked to a light golden crust, giving the dough a special texture. Baked variations are believed to have emerged from the experiments of European chefs aiming to make the familiar dish more refined. The main ingredient – cottage cheese – gives the dumplings softness and a slight tanginess, harmoniously complemented by the sweetness of sugar. Baking adds a light crispness, while sour cream filling makes the dish juicy and rich. They are perfect for breakfast or a cozy family dinner. Baked dumplings with berries or honey are especially good, adding extra notes of freshness and sweetness.
