👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the lukewarm water and the egg. Mix with a spoon or in a stand mixer until a cohesive dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
2
Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, mash the farmer's cheese until smooth. Stir in the sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and raisins. Mix well. If the cheese is very wet, you can drain off excess liquid.
3
Assemble the dumplings: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 2mm thickness. Use a 2-inch (5cm) round cutter or glass to cut out circles. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, fold into a half-moon shape, and press the edges firmly to seal.
4
Cook the dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the dumplings in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the dough is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon.
5
Serve: Serve the dumplings warm, topped with sour cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a spoonful of jam or berry coulis.
