Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Sift the flour to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Lightly beat the eggs with a fork.
Step 4
Add the water and stir lightly with a fork.
Step 5
Add the sifted flour and mix first with a fork, then with your hands.
Step 6
Knead the dough until soft and pliable. Depending on the flour, you may need slightly more or less than stated.
Step 7
Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes. For the filling, drain cherries preserved in their own juice and use only the berries.
Step 8
Cut off a piece of dough and keep the rest covered with a towel so it does not dry out. Roll the dough out on the work surface into a sheet that is not too thin.
Step 9
Cut out circles using a glass or round cutter.
Step 10
Place a spoonful of cherries in the center of each dough circle and add a little sugar for sweetness.
Step 11
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
Step 12
Shape the remaining dumplings in the same way. At this stage, you can freeze some of them for later cooking if desired.
Step 13
Lightly grease the steaming basket with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Pour the required amount of water into the multicooker according to the appliance instructions. Place the steaming basket inside, arrange the dumplings in it and cook on the Steam setting for 15 minutes with the lid closed. If you do not have a multicooker, use a steamer or boil the dumplings in salted water until cooked.
Step 14
When the steaming program finishes, the dumplings are ready.
Step 15
Serve the cherry dumplings hot. They pair especially well with sour cream.
