Plums serve as the basis for a variety of foods, the most
prominent of which are sweet and delicious dumplings that are suitable
for dessert or even as a light snack on their own.
Ingredients for dumplings:
Butter - 3.5 oz.
Plums - 20 (pitted and halved)
Semolina - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 1
Flour - 1 cup
Ground cinnamon - 2 tsp.
Milk - 1/2 cup
Salt - a pinch
Method of preparing the dumplings:
Mix the flour, egg, and semolina, and milk to create a soft mixture.
Knead the mixture until you get a dough.
Roll the dough and cut it into squares the size of two plum halves.
Wrap 2 plum halves in each square of dough and roll on a floured
surface.

Pour water into a pot and add salt.
Transfer the dumplings to the
water and cook until they begin to boil.
Once the water begins to boil
continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
Remove the dumplings from the pot and transfer them to a serving
bowl.
For the dips, prepare 2 separate bowls:
Add melted butter to one
bowl, and in another bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
Roll each dumpling first in the butter bowl and then in the
cinnamon-sugar bowl.
You can also add a bowl of blueberry jam or honey
with nuts, and dip the dumplings into them.
