Recipe for making dumplings with cherries

1. Sift wheat flour into a deep bowl. Beat in 2 chicken eggs.
2. Pour cold water into the mixture, add salt.
3. To make the dough elastic, pour in refined vegetable oil.
4. Knead soft and homogeneous dough.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of 3 mm. Using a cookie cutter or a glass of a suitable diameter, cut out round shapes from the dough.
6. Wash the cherries and remove the pits. Transfer the berries to a sieve or colander to drain off excess juice. If desired, you can use it to make cherry sauce for the dumplings. Place a few cherries in the middle of each piece. Sprinkle the berries with sugar to make the dumplings sweet.
7. Pinch the edges of the dumplings, forming a decorative braid along the edge.
8. Lower the dumplings with cherries into boiling salted water. After the dumplings float to the surface, cook them for 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the products and the thickness of the dough. Try one dumpling. If the dough on the curly braid is cooked, the dish is ready.
