• 500 grams flour
• 250 milliliters warm water

• 30 grams butter
• 2 grams salt

Filling

• 400 grams fresh strawberries
• 50 grams sugar

Preparation

Dough

1. Mix the flour, water, egg, butter, and salt to form a soft dough
2. Knead for ten minutes and rest for thirty minutes under a clean cloth
3. Roll the dough thin and cut into circles with a round cookie cutter

Cooking

1. Slice the strawberries into small pieces if they are too large for circles
2. Place one piece of fruit and a pinch of sugar on each circle
3. Fold the dough over and press the edges together to seal the fruit
4. Boil the dumplings in a pot of water until they float and simmer for two minutes

Tips

• Use small strawberries whole if possible to keep the juice inside the dumpling dough
• Do not add sugar to the berries too early as they will release liquid
• Make sure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the first dumplings
