STRAWBERRY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine 1/3 cup sugar and the water; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, the 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly.
• Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Place strawberries in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish; pour hot sugar mixture over strawberries.
• Immediately drop dough evenly in 8 to 10 spoonfuls over strawberries.
• Sprinkle dumplings with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar (and a little cinnamon, if desired).
• Bake at 450° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until dumplings are lightly browned.
• Serve hot with whipped topping or ice cream, if desired.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring rhubarb, water, sugar and salt to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Stir in strawberries; return to a boil., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk just until moistened. Drop batter in four mounds onto rhubarb mixture. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook 5-8 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream.

SWEET RICOTTA DUMPLINGS WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE - CANEDERLI

Steps:

• Put the cut strawberries in the saucepan (or cut them right into it), pour the sugar and lemon juice over, and toss together. Set the pan over medium-low heat; stir occasionally as the berries release juice and it gradually starts to bubble. Adjust the heat to keep the juice simmering, and cook for about 8 minutes, until the berries are soft and the juice is slightly syrupy. Turn off the heat, and cover the pot to keep the sauce warm.
• Meanwhile, fill the big pot with about 6 quarts water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and heat it to a boil. Put the butter in the big skillet and melt it over very low heat; turn off the flame, but leave the skillet on the warm burner.
• For the dough: Dump the ricotta into a large bowl, and stir to loosen it and break up lumps, then blend in the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle all the flour on top, and fold it in gently, just until it is all incorporated, with no small clumps of dry flour. The dough will be stiff and somewhat sticky.
• Adjust the heat so the cooking water is bubbling gently. Fill a glass or jar with cold water to moisten the scoop, so the dough doesn't stick. Dip the ice-cream scoop into the water glass, scoop up a round of dough, level it off (scraping excess back in the bowl), and dispense the dumpling into the cooking pot. Scoop up all the dough in the same way, and get the dumplings cooked as quickly as possible. If you don't have an ice-cream scoop, use a 1/4-cup measure. Empty each portion into your hand (both hands must be lightly floured!), and quickly roll it into a ball, then drop the dumpling into the pot.
• As you form the canederli, keep the scoop moistened (or your hands floured) and the water at a gentle simmer: don't let it boil vigorously, which can break apart the canederli.
• After all are in the pot, let the dumplings cook, without stirring, until all have risen to the surface of the water. Simmer them another 5 minutes, and then scoop one out and test it for doneness. First, press it gently: it should feel solid and spring back to the touch. If it feels soft at the center, return it to the pot and cook the batch a minute or two longer. Scoop out another dumpling, and cut into it to check that the center is not wet and oozing and that the dough looks uniformly cooked through.
• Meanwhile, have the big skillet with melted butter warming over very low heat. Lift out the cooked dumplings with a spider, let them drain over the pot for a few seconds, then gently drop them in the skillet. Roll the dumplings gently so they're coated all over with butter, then turn off the heat and leave them in the warm pan for a few minutes to firm up.
• Serve the canederli on warm dessert plates, spooning a pool of strawberry sauce in the center of each plate and setting two or three canederli on top. For family-style serving, arrange the canederli in a large, rimmed platter and drizzle some of the strawberry sauce around them in a colorful border. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

STRAWBERRY DUMPLINGS (FILLED)

Steps:

• Authentic Dumplings:.
• In a big bowl cream together flour, salt, sugar, egg, butter, lemon zest and curd. (If you have the time to strain the curd, do so, the mixture will be a bit firmer and you can omit some of the flour.) The result will be a smooth and sticky dough, cover it and let rest for at least half an hour.
• wash dry and cut strawberries in half.
• Knead in some more flour (start with one or two tablespoons) until the dough doesn't stick to your fingers any more and you can work with it. Key is to add only as much flour as really necessary, to maintain a light and fluffy dumpling texture. Knead dough briefly, form a log and cut it in 10 to 12 equally sized slices. Slightly flour your hands and form little discs, then place two strawberry halves on top of each, drizzle with a little vanilla sugar and wrap it with the dough. Form a neat little dumpling and double check that the strawberries are completely covered by the dough, with no leaks.
• Bring the pot of water to a boil and carefully slip the dumplings into the water, stir once to make sure none got stuck to the bottom of the pot, then close the lid. Let the water simmer at low heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are done, then remove with a skimmer.
• Roll them in a bowl filled with squeezed/ground poppyseed until evenly covered, then arrange on a plate, dust with some confectioners' sugar and some warm butter if you wish.
• My way is to have a skillet with warm butter and toasting bread crumbs in it, ready to roll each dumping in as it comes out of the water.
• Enjoy.

CROCK POT STRAWBERRY AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Place the strawberries and equal parts sugar and water in a 2-3 quart slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on high for 2-1/2 hours. Before cooking for 2-1/2 hours add the dumpling mixture to it.
• 2. After cooking for this long you will see the strawberries are breaking down and the mixture has thickened up.
• 3. At this point you add the butter and stir to give it a silky, creamy texture.

STRAWBERRY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Mix the biscuit mix and water and roll into a ball.
• 3. Place on a floured surface. Divide the ball into 8 equal pieces.
• 4. Roll each piece into a circle. Place 1/2 cup strawberries, 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons sugar on top of the berries.
• 5. Wet the dough around the edges just a little and pinch each dumpling up into a little purse. Place seam side up in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
• 6. Pour the 2 cups of cream over and around the dumplings. Sprinkle each with 1 more tablespoon of sugar.
• 7. Place in a 350 oven for 1 hour uncovered.
• 8. Halfway through the baking time,remove from the oven and dip some of the cream up and pour back over the top of each dumpling.
• 9. This keeps them from drying out and makes the tops nice and brown.
• 10. Remove from oven and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or just as it is.

STOVETOP STRAWBERRY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries and sugar in a 4-quart saucepan, stirring to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until juicy.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Work the cold pieces of butter into the flour mixture with your fingers, breaking up the pieces of butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized pieces of butter.
• Bring the strawberries to a boil over medium heat.
• Stir the milk into the flour-butter mixture just until combined to form a thick, sticky batter. Add the batter to the boiling berries. Stir once or twice and then reduce the heat to low and securely cover the pan. (See Kelly's Notes.) Let cook for 15 to 18 minutes until the puffed up dumplings appear dry on top.
• Let dumplings sit for 5 minutes before serving. Top dumplings with homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
• Kelly's Notes:
• No matter how tight-fitting your saucepan lid, I'd recommend placing a layer of foil atop the pan and then securing the lid on top to guarantee a tight seal. You don't want any moisture or heat escaping from the pan, so don't peek until at least 15 minutes into the cooking time.
