45 minutes

Plum dumplings are a delightful dish of Austrian cuisine, combining tender potato dough and aromatic plums. The history of this dish dates back to medieval Europe when dumplings were popular among peasants due to accessible ingredients. The sweetness of sugar-coated plums perfectly complements the softness of the dough, creating a harmony of flavors. Dumplings are steamed, making them particularly airy and light. They are served with melted butter, adding tenderness and richness to the dish. Plum dumplings make an ideal dessert or sweet dinner, especially in the autumn season when plums are juiciest.
