Special meals call for elegant desserts like this. Sweet plums are halved then tucked inside a pretty pastry pocket.Martha Voss, Dickinson, North Dakota Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons 2% milk |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3 medium black plums, halved and pitted |
1 cup water |
3 tablespoons butter |
melted butter and cinnamon-sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk and egg just until blended. Divide into six portions.
2. On a lightly floured surface, pat each portion of dough into a 5-in. circle. Place a plum half on each circle. Gently bring up corners of dough to center; pinch edges to seal.
3. In a Dutch oven, bring water and butter to a boil. Carefully add dumplings. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. Serve warm with pan juices, melted butter and cinnamon-sugar. Yield: 6 servings.
