From the Best of International Cooking cookbook. I haven't tried this recipe yet. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 cup cottage cheese, drained and sieved (8 oz.) |
salt |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 -1 1/2 lb fresh apricot |
12 -14 sugar cubes |
2 1/2 quarts water |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
1 cup fine dry breadcrumb |
3 tablespoons granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 5 Tablespoons melted butter, cottage cheese, pinch of salt, eggs and enough flour to make a soft dough. Shape dough into a roll; cover and let stand 30 minutes.
2. Wash and dry apricots. Cut in halves; remove and discard pit. Place 1 sugar cube between each pair of apricot halves; set aside.
3. Bring water to a gentle boil; add 1 teaspoon salt.
4. On a lightly floured board, press or roll out dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares. Place a stuffed apricot (2 halves with a sugar cube in the middle) in center of each square of dough. Press dough around fruit, covering completely. Add to gently boiling water; cook 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; arrange on a platter.
5. Melt 1/3 cup butter or margarine in a medium skillet. Add breadcrumbs and 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar; sauté until golden brown. Sprinkle caramelized breadcrumbs over dumplings.
