- The dumplings are made from a special dough called odpaľované cesto. This loosely means âburned-off doughâ. You start by combining milk, a quarter stick of butter and a little bit of salt in a pot and bringing everything to boil. Then SLOWLY stir in about 3/4 of the flour. I accidentally dumped in all the flour at once and ended up with many clumps.
- Keep stirring with the heat on until the dough becomes thick. The dough should probably be thicker than what I am showing here on the right, because I had to add much more flour in the next step than suggested by the recipe. Remove from heat and let cool.
- While the dough is cooling, remove pits from the plums. I used a spoon to scoop them out while leaving most of the plum intact. Also put a large pot full of water on the stove.
- Now, according to the original recipe, you mix in one large egg and the remaining flour. However, my dough was still way too sticky, and I ended up adding in perhaps another 150g of flour.
- Next dust a large board with flour and transfer the dough loaf onto it. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin sheet about a millimeter thick.
- Itâs time to make the dumplings! Cut out squares of dough and use them to tightly wrap each plum. Remove any remaining dough â you want to end up with a smooth dough ball. My first few dumplings didnât work out too well, but I got better at it as I went along. Drop the dumplings into boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Dumplings will float to the top when done.
- In the mean time, grind up the poppy seeds. If you donât have a grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle, like I did. Also melt little bit of butter.
- Scoop out and strain the dumplingsâ¦
- Cover with poppy seeds, powdered sugar and top with a spoonful of melted butter. Some people use ground cinnamon instead of poppy seeds. Or you can use crushed walnuts. The dumplings are delicious either way. Enjoy! For other Slovak treats, see the sweet treats category.
