Venosta Valley apricot dumpling - the best recipe for me

Ingredients for the dough (about 8 large dumplings or 16 small ones)

500 g mealy potatoes
2 pieces of egg yolk
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter
140 g wheat flour
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt
8 apricots
8 lump sugar

Tip

Instead of lump sugar you can also use marzipan or white chocolate coating

Production

Peel and chop the potatoes and boil them in salted water. As soon as they are soft, press them through a potato press and let them cool down a little.
Then place the two egg yolks on top, add nutmeg and salt and put the liquid butter on top. Knead briefly and then add the wheat flour.
Roll out the dough immediately and cut into squares.

When I make apricot dumplings, I always use only half an apricot and half a lump sugar , otherwise the dumplings are too big for me.

Put the lump sugar into the apricot, close it and wrap it with the dough so that nothing can leak out.
Boil the apricot dumplings immediately for 16 minutes or freeze them and cook them frozen.

Ingredients for the breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon butter
150 g breadcrumbs
40 g sugar
½ tsp cinnamon

Production of the breadcrumbs

Melt the butter in a pan, then add breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon and fry briefly. The crumbs must not get too dark. Do a taste test.
