Cherry Dumplings

4 servings

Ingredients

• 500 g sour cherries
• sugar (a little)
• lemon zest (a little)
• cloves (a little)
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 4 pcs eggs
• white bread (as needed)

Instructions

1. Slowly cook 500 g of pitted, sour cherries with water, a little sugar, a little lemon zest, and a little cloves until soft.
2. After cooling slightly, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 4 eggs, and enough grated white bread so that the dumplings hold together when cooked – first test this with a single dumpling.
3. Cook for 5-10 minutes and serve with foam sauce or milk sauce.
