Austrian Apricot Dumplings

Ingredients

Potatoes 500 g

Egg 1

Flour 2/3 cup

Pinch of salt

Pinch of nutmeg

Apricots 6

Sugar 5 pieces

Vegetable oil 3 tbsp

Breadcrumbs 1/2 cup

Sugar 2 tbsp

Cinnamon 1/2 tsp

Wash the potatoes, cut into several pieces (optional), and then boil in salted water for 10-15 minutes. Drain. Peel and grind. Add the egg, salt, and nutmeg to the potatoes and mix. Add the flour and knead into a soft dough. Replace the apricot pit with a lump of sugar.

 Divide the dough into 6 portions and shape them into balls. Place an apricot in each portion and pinch the top closed.

Bring salted water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the knodels and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-16 minutes (depending on size). Drain.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan, add the breadcrumbs, and cook until golden brown. Remove from heat. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and add to the breadcrumbs. Pour the mixture over the knodels.

Enjoy!
