  • 12 pieces cube sugar
  • 150 g butter

    Add flour, semolina, butter, sugar, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes and knead into dough; let rest for 20 minutes.

  4. 4.

    On a floured surface shape the potato dough into a roll about 5 cm thick, slice into 12 equal pieces, flatten slightly, place one plum on each piece, and form into dumplings.

  5. 5.

    Drop dumplings into boiling water and simmer for about 20 minutes, nudging occasionally so they rotate.

    Melt butter in a large pan and brown breadcrumbs; set aside.
