How to Make Fruit Dumplings

  1. Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Stir in 1 cup cottage cheese and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined.
  4. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, or more as needed, until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares.
  6. Place 1-2 fresh plums (halved and pitted), apricots (halved), or sweet cherries in the center of each square.
  7. Bring the corners of each square together, pinching to seal completely, and gently roll into a ball.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with melted butter and a sprinkle of a mixture of 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
