How to Make Littlemafia's Dumplings With Plums

  1. Boil 1 lb potatoes until tender. Mash into a smooth, fine paste.
  2. Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. (The dough will be sticky.)
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
  4. Roll each portion into a 4-inch square.
  5. Wash 1 lb plums thoroughly. Halve them, remove the pits, and fill the cavity with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon each.
  6. Place one plum half in the center of each dough square.
  7. Fold the dough over the plum to create a dumpling, pinching the edges to seal.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the dumplings.
  9. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.
  10. While the dumplings cook, prepare the breadcrumb coating: In a separate pan, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup breadcrumbs and 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar. Fry until golden brown and crispy, stirring frequently.
  11. Once the dumplings are cooked, carefully remove them from the boiling water and gently roll them in the prepared breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
