Subtleties and secrets of cooking
To make the perfect dough, it is very important to prepare the ingredients correctly. It's easy, but the dumplings will turn out to be tender and fragrant.
Dough making secrets
In warm water, the flour quickly releases gluten, so the liquid must be warm (room temperature), and the egg can be taken from the refrigerator. Sift the flour several times, it will turn out to be more airy and when combined with water, the reaction will occur faster, it will be easier to knead.
The structure of the dough will be smoother and more elastic if the working surface instead of flour is treated with refined oil. After kneading, leave the dough on the kitchen table, covered with a wet towel. While it is resting, the gluten will have time to swell, and if this is not done, the consistency will be too dry or too sticky.
Subtleties cooking dumplings
Dumplings with berries should be done quickly, and then immediately sent to boiling water. Be sure to cook in small portions in a large amount of constantly boiling water, otherwise they may stick to the bottom and walls of dishes.
But frozen dumplings have a more dense structure, so they do not stick even when boiling stops. Depending on the volume of the pan, you can cook 3-4 portions at once. Be sure to add salt, it perfectly enhances the taste of sweet dumplings with blueberries, making it bright and rich.
