Cesky Krumlov.jpgOK, now that we know a little more than we started with about the wonderful possibilities of dumplings, let’s move on to the good part.  Enjoy this wonderful I’d Rather be in Cesky Krumlov Ococne Knedliky / Sweet Dumplings recipe straight from the Czech Republic.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 11 peaches (or 15 plums), chopped
  • Powdered sugar
  • Cottage cheese

What’s Next:

In a large saucepan- bring milk, butter & salt to a boil, stirring continuously.  Remove from heat.

Whisk egg into milk mixture, gradually add 1 cup flour.  Mix well. 

Find your cutting board or some wax paper- use the next 1 cup flour to coat the surface of the board or paper.  Turn out dough and knead until dough forms a large ball.

Keep your hands floured (to avoid flour-stick) tear off pieces of dough and wrap around chopped fruit. 

In a medium saucepan- boil water.  Place dumplings in boiling water.  When they begin to rise to the surface, boil for 20 minutes (or 10 minutes for plum dumplings).

Serve these delicious creatures with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of cottage cheese.  This is one of the best ovocne knedliky recipes I’ve tried and I hope you too enjoy the tasteful pleasure of Czech fruit dumplings.

Eat well & Laugh often.

    I am from Cesky Krumlov. I call it the fairytail town (pohádkové město). To enjoy any kind of fruit dumplings, the topping should be: first cottage cheese (squeze all the liquid out), then sugar, and (the most important) drench with melted butter.
