Strawberry Dumplings - Pierogi z Truskawkami


These delicate strawberry dumplings are soft, slightly chewy, and filled with juicy, lightly sweetened strawberries. Using a simple high-gluten flour dough, each dumpling is wrapped individually and cooked to perfection. Serve them with sugar or sweetened sour cream for a traditional and comforting dessert.
Perfect for spring or summer when strawberries are at their sweetest, these dumplings are fun to make with family and kids.


Ingredients: (makes about 25 dumplings)
- 150 g high-gluten flour
- A pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon)
- 90 ml boiling water

- 300 g strawberries
- 1 tbsp of Sugar


Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
   - Place the flour in a mixing bowl (you can sift it if desired) and add the salt.
   - Pour in 100 ml of hot water. Mix with a spoon.
   - Once the mixture has cooled slightly, begin kneading the dough, adding more water if necessary.
   - All the ingredients should easily come together; if not, add a little more water.
   - Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and uniform.
2. Shape the dough into a ball and set it aside for about 20 minutes.
3. Preparing the Strawberries:
   - Meanwhile, hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces.
   - Sprinkle sugar over them and let them release their juices.
   - Drain the strawberries.
4. Roll out the Dough:
   - After resting, divide the dough.
   - Flatten the dough pieces and roll it out into a very thin sheet (about 1-2 mm thick)
   - Cut out circles from the dough using a glass or cookie cutter.
5. Folding the Dumplings:
   - Add a spoonful of strawberries onto each dumpling wrapper.
   - Fold the wrapper in half and seal the edges tightly.
6. Cooking the Dumplings:
   - Drop the filled dumplings into boiling water.
   - Stir gently to prevent sticking to the bottom.
   - Cook for about 3-4 minutes from the moment they start floating, then remove the dumplings using a slotted spoon.
7. Serve the strawberry dumplings with sweetened sour cream or sugar, if desired.
