Steps:
- Stir a teaspoon of sugar and the dry yeast into the lukewarm milk. Leave the yeast in a warm place to activate. It takes about 10-15 minutes for a foam with bubbles to form on the surface.
- In a large bowl, combine flour with egg, a pinch of salt, and the yeast mixture. Combine everything first with a spoon, then dump the mixture onto a work surface and process with your hands into a soft dough.
- Return the ball of dough to the bowl, cover with cling film or a clean cloth, and leave in a warm spot to rise for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the granulated sugar and the clean, drained blueberries.
- Roll out the raised smooth dough into a rectangular pancake about half to three-quarters of an inch thick. Cut into squares about 8 cm on a side. Place a teaspoon and a half of the sweetened blueberries in the center of each square. Close the dumpling carefully to prevent the juices from running out.
- In a large skillet, bring lightly salted water to a full boil. Then turn the stove down to medium heat and place dumplings into it. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8 minutes, do not flip the dumplings. Once cooked, carefully transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
- To release the steam, prick the cooked dumplings with a fork and brush their top with melted butter. Drizzle with melted butter and serve with your favorite toppings.

PLUM DUMPLINGS
This recipe came from Istria in the former Yugoslavia. It can be an entree (our favorite) or side dish. I have fond memories of helping my mother make large batches of these and freezing them for the winter. They are still one of my favorite meals and my children (now grown up) still look forward to these any time I make them.

Steps:
- To pit the plums, slice them almost in half, open, and remove pit. Place about 1/3 teaspoon of sugar in the hollow of each plum; close the plum, and place in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, mash potatoes with a fork or potato masher. You will need 1 cup of mashed potatoes. Set aside, and keep warm.
- To make the dough, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a pile on a breadboard. Make a well in the center; add 1 cup mashed potatoes, egg yolks, and shortening into the well, and work in until the dough is pliable and smooth.
- When dough is thoroughly kneaded, roll it out onto a floured board to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut into roughly 4-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Holding one piece of dough in your hand, place a whole pitted plum in the center. Place another piece of dough on top, and press to seal the edges of the dough together. Make sure there are no leaks, or the plum will come out during cooking.
- To cook, bring a deep pot of salted water to boil. Place dumplings in water, and boil gently for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. (If you like, stir in some of the juice that collects in the bowl of pitted plums.) Stir in a small amount of bread crumbs to slightly thicken the sauce.
- When dumplings are done, remove them from boiling water, and place them in the frying pan, and turn to coat the dumplings. Serve hot with extra sauce poured over them.
