👨‍🍳 조리법

1
For the dumplings: In a bowl, mix the vanilla curd cream, eggs, baking powder, wheat flour, and melted butter until a smooth dough forms.
2
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
3
Using two teaspoons, form small, teaspoon-sized dumplings and carefully drop them into the boiling water.
4
Boil the dumplings until they float to the surface, then continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
5
For the kissel: In a saucepan, combine the summer berries and water. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries are tender.
6
Strain the mixture, discarding the solids, and return the juice to the saucepan. Sweeten the juice with sugar to taste.
7
In a small bowl, whisk the potato starch with a few tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Pour this slurry into the hot berry juice while stirring constantly.
8
Bring the kissel back to a gentle boil, stirring until it thickens slightly. Do not overcook.
9
Serve the warm curd cheese dumplings with the berry kissel.
