Czech dumplings

I spent last weekend in the Czech Republic and got hooked on their kitchen again! Here’s one great breakfast or dessert!

Preparation steps

Dough
Mix yeast, salt and sugar into the flour and mix well
Add egg, melted butter and lukewarm milk and mix with an electric mixer or cooker
Finish the dough a little by hand and leave in a covered bowl on warm to rest
Making dumplings
After the dough rises by a third, lightly knead it and divide it into 16 equal balls
Flatten each ball into a circle about 10cm in diameter and lightly moisten on one side
Place a teaspoon of strawberry jam and one or two strawberries dipped in powdered sugar on the moistened side
Close the dumpling and shape it a little with your palms into a ball and let it stand for 15-20 minutes in a warm place
Cooking
Boil a large pot of water in which you have put a little salt and a handful of sugar
Put 3-4 dumplings in boiling water (depending on the size of the pot) and cook covered for about 10 minutes.
Serve the dumplings warm
If you need the dumplings for later, after about 15 minutes of rest, you can put them in the fridge, and before cooking, take them out again in a warm place to warm them up a bit.
Cream sauce
Pour the cream into a bowl, add the lemon zest and vanilla sugar and stir. Finally add the lemon juice and stir a little more.
Leave in the refrigerator until serving
