Ingredients
| water 65 ml |
| milk 65 ml |
| butter (room temperature) 55 g |
| flour 200 g |
| eggs 2 pcs |
| sugar 1/2 tsp. |
| salt pinch |
| FOR THE FILLING: |
| boiled duck leg 1 pc |
| prunes 100 g |
| apple 1 pc |
| salt |
| pepper |
Instructions
Step 1
Combine milk and water and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Once the liquid is boiling, add the butter, salt and sugar. Pour in the flour and, stirring quickly, make a dough.
Step 2
Remove from the stove and continue stirring with a spoon until it begins to cool.
Step 3
Once the dough is warm — add the eggs one at a time while continuing to knead. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead with your hands, adding flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
Step 4
To prepare the filling, bake the apple in the microwave or oven until soft. Combine the duck meat, prunes and baked apple in a blender. Blend, but not until smooth — so that the stuffing retains its texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Dust a work surface with flour, roll out the dough and cut out circles. Put the filling on each one and form dumplings. Boil in salted water for 5-7 minutes.
