PLUM DUMPLINGS
18 Italian plums
Kosher salt
3 cups mashed potatoes cooled
3 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 whole eggs
1 stick softened butter
18 small sugar cubes
1 cup dry bread crumbs
Wash, split and remove pits from the plums then set aside. In a mixing bowl place the mashed potatoes then mix in the flour and the 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Add the eggs and mix with a wooden spoon until dough forms. Mix in 5 tablespoons of butter a tablespoon at a time and work the dough until it is smooth. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes then roll out to a thickness of ¼ inch on a cutting board. Cut the dough into 3 inch squares. Place dough square on your floured hand then put a plum in the middle. Put a small sugar cube in the middle of the plum center. Close your hand around the plum to form a dumpling and pinch it closed. Roll it in your hands to make it round and smooth. Place it pinched side up on a board until ready to cook. Boil the dumplings in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes and make sure they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Brown the bread crumbs in the remaining butter and set aside. When all the dumplings are done roll them in the crumbs and serve warm to your guests.
