Peel potatoes and cook in salted water till soft. Drain and peel. Mash
potatoes and while still warm add to sifted flour and salt. Make a well
and add egg and mix or knead gently till all is blended.
Form a circle of dough about 4 inches around, enough to cover a plum.
Place a sugar cube (or the spoon of sugar and some cinnamon or liquor,
if desired) into the center of a plum and fold dough around plum to form
dumpling, making sure to seal the edges of the dough.
Cook a few dumplings at a time in boiling salted water for about 10
minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well. Roll dumplings in
a bowl of bread crumbs until completely coated.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place dumplings in
the skillet and turn carefully until bread crumbs are brown all over.
Serve warm, sprinkled with leftover crumbs from skillet.
Please send me any other recipes you have had passed down to you. I can remember Grandma making Chicken Paprikash and Chicken and Dumplings, but don't have her recipes.
