What are you cooking?

For the authentic Italian gnocchi recipe, Flo, you have to add some boiled potatoes in the flour and mix it all

Thanks.

Just reminded myself that we do have a "gnocchi-like" dough that's made for a desert here, usually in plum season

Nice. What are they called?

Plum dumplings

Here's a recipe in the video below. The difference is that my mom doesn't use lard, but one egg. Also, she does not roll the dough, instead she pinches off a good size of dough and wraps it around a plum. She never measures the quantities, so she adds less flour and tests to see if the dough holds together when boiling. If it doesn't, only add a bit more flour and knead it until incorporated. If you add too much flour, you can't take it out and the resulted dough will be too hard/ chewy.

The best plums for this, not the ones presented in the video below, are the smaller kind that are found here mostly in central Transylvania. I don't know their exact name. They are much sweater and we usually leave the pip to be removed when eating.

Maybe our Hungarian friends can join in with some tips.

Had this whole big message typed out but then I clicked `Go to editor..` and I guess it just doesn't carry over to it without any warning. :'(
