My dough was quite sticky. It made for great fun with the kids but I think next time I'll add a bit more flour. We used apricots and dried plums and the kids couldn't get enough. The butter and cinnamon sugar at the end makes this dish worthwhile. Reviewed for ZWT4

Had an interesting time making these, as dumplings are something I don't usually do, & at that I made a double batch! Used both fresh plums & apricots, making some of one & some of the other, then, with 4 of the dumplings, I used half a plum & half an apricot in each ~ Gotta admit that I liked them all, & this IS a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for the Zingo part of the Zaar World Tour 4]!

I am leaving comments as this was my first venture with dumplings and I am not sure if my results can be attributed to user error or the recipe. Hoping this will be helpful for other dumpling novices. I halved this recipe and made it with nonfat cottage cheese as that was all I had. The dough was quite soft and sticky without the addition of milk so I left that out. Rolled it out to about a 1/4 thick and placed apricots in half and blueberries in the other half of what I guess were smallish dumplings as there were 10 all together. Cooked as directed and served with a raspberry/strawberry coulis. (Not a butter and sugar person.) The dough was not at all tender as i imagined it would be instead being toothy and dense. Not sure if this was due to the nonfat cottage cheese or what they should have been like. For a dessert, I would have like the dough to be sweeter as well and I do not like overly sweet. My other realization was the smaller dumplings yielded a poor ratio of fruit to dough and larger dumplings would have been better. For example, my apricot dumplings had about 1/3 of a large apricot and at a minimum 1/2 would have been better. I'm glad I tried these as I have always been curious about the dish. Thanks!

Yummy! I used frozen cranberries and blueberries. I brushed on melted butter with a pastry brush and sprinkled with Spiced Sugar (look it up, it's on here.)
