Berry time has come – it’s time to cook dumplings. This simple and hearty dessert is especially good with fresh ripe fruits and berries. Let’s cook fragrant blackcurrant dumplings.
The dough is kneaded on kefir without eggs. No sugar is added to the berry filling, so it turns out juicy with a natural taste. Sugar is used when serving and this is quite enough. If desired, it can be replaced with honey, berry syrup, condensed milk or sweet sour cream. A similar recipe can be prepared with raspberries, red, white currants, blueberries, or several types of berries. Be sure to use a spacious enamel pot with a lid to cook dumplings. From the specified amount of products, 22 dumplings are obtained.
