Ingredients for dumplings can be salty, hearty, tender, or sweet. It is this variety that makes dumplings a daily dish. They can be stored in the freezer in case you don't have time to prepare complex meals.
Sweet cherry dumplings
Cherries can be used fresh or frozen. From it you need to get the bones (if any), cover with powdered sugar and place in a colander or sieve. When the juice has drained, you can sculpt the dumplings.
The best sauce is cherry caramel. It can be made from the juice we got from cherries. Melt a piece of butter with sugar in a pan and fry a little, then add the resulting cherry juice and boil until thick for 5 minutes. Add vanillin or cinnamon if desired.
Dumplings with cottage cheese

Dumplings with potatoes
Boil the potatoes after peeling and cutting them in salted water. Peel and cut the onion into small cubes, fry in sunflower oil until golden brown. Boiled potatoes are crumpled with butter and mixed with fried onions.

Dumplings with herbs and cheese
