Ingredients

3 servings

40 g butter with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

10 g sugar

1 pack vanilla sugar

A pinch of salt

1 egg with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

150 g curd cheese (quark) with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

150 g flour with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

Additional ingredients:

6 small apricots with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

60 g raw marzipan

1 tbsp butter with the South Tyrolean seal of quality

60 g white bread crumbs or sweet bread crumbs

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp browned butter

Preparation

Time to prepare: 45 min.

Cream together the soft butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until fluffy. Stir in the egg, curd cheese and flour. Cover and leave the dough to rest in the fridge for approx. 15 minutes. Wash, dry and cut the apricots – but do not cut through them completely. Remove the stones and fill each hole with 10 g of raw marzipan. Roll out the curd dough on a floured surface and cut into six equal squares (7 x 7 cm). Now use the dough squares to fully enclose the apricots and make dumplings. Simmer gently in boiling salt water. Melt the butter and lightly toast the white breadcrumbs while stirring constantly. Lift the apricot dumplings out of the water, drain well, then roll in the white breadcrumbs, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, then add butter to taste.
Cooking time: approx. 8 minutes

You could also use sugar cubes instead of the raw marzipan. Strawberry or vanilla sauce goes well with these apricot dumplings. You could also roll the dumplings in crunchy crumbs. You could also use potato dough for this recipe. Our wine recommendation: Passito, white
