Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 ¼ Cup milk
- Pinch salt
- 1 ½ Cup all purpose flour
- 2 egg yolks
For the filling and coating:
- 12 apricot
- bread crumbs
- butter
Instructions
- First create the choux dough. Heat up a pot and melt the butter and pour in the milk + season with a pinch of salt. Mix and heat up on medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Take from the heat and add in the flour.
- Take the pot back to low heat and keep on stirring! Don't waste time at this point, stay focused because it's important that you follow this step!
- While you keep on stirring, the dough will form to a ball and at the bottom of your pot, you will notice a layer of sticky flour. If you see flour at the bottom of the pot, it is the right way and all is good.
- Place the dough into a bowl and let cool for some time.
- In the meantime, wash and pat dry your fresh Apricots. Slice into half and discard the core.
- When the dough has cooled, add the egg yolks and mix it into the dough. The dough needs to be cool or lumps will form and the ingredients won't bind.
- Shape the dough into a large sausage.
- Keep a large pot with water to boil.
- Cut the dough into 12 pieces. Flatten with a rolling pin into flat rounds. Place the apricot into the center of a round and shape the dough around the fruit. Seal the ends of the dough well. Your dumplings should be round.
- Place the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until the dumplings swim on the surface of the water. Take them out and keep them dry.
- While the dumplings are cooking, heat up a frying pan and melt the butter and add the breadcrumbs. Mix it all well over low heat.
- Take each dumpling and drag it through the butter breadcrumbs mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve as a dessert.
