Steps
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Add the egg and milk, then knead into a smooth, elastic dough. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Shape the Dumplings
On a floured surface, roll out the rested dough to about 2-3 mm thickness. Cut it into 5x5 cm squares. Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of each square. Fold the squares in half and firmly press the edges together to prevent the jam from leaking out during cooking. You can also shape them into triangles or half-moons.
Cook and Toast
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they float to the surface. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the breadcrumbs. Toast until golden brown, stirring constantly, for about 5-8 minutes.
Serve
Remove the cooked dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon, drain them, and immediately roll them in the toasted breadcrumbs. Serve warm, generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Extra Tips
► Use a thicker jam, such as plum or apricot, to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
► Do not over-knead the dough; only mix until it comes together to keep it soft and light.
► Before serving, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, and a little cinnamon if you like.
