How to Make Polish Plum Dumplings

  1. Wash 1 pound of plums in cold water and dry them thoroughly.
  2. Pit the plums and set aside until ready to use.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk (add more milk as needed to achieve a soft, pliable dough).
  4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Use a knife or a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut the dough into 24 small squares.
  6. Place a pitted plum in the center of each square.
  7. Fold the dough over to form a triangle or square, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water.
  9. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface. This indicates they are cooked through.
  10. Carefully remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.
  11. Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
