Anleitung
Cream Cheese dough
In a large bowl, mix the egg substitute powder with water according to package directions and allow to swell briefly. For my egg substitute, this was 10 gram egg substitute powder and 100 milliliter water. (Equivalent to 2 eggs)
Add lemon zest, a pinch of salt and vegan fresh cream to the bowl. Weigh flour and semolina and add them to the bowl as well. Mix until everything is well combined.
Blend the dough until smooth and let it rest, covered, in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, until the dough is no longer soft.
Form dumplings
Optionally, pit apricots with the round handle end of a wooden spoon and fill with sugar cubes.
To shape the dumplings, cut the dough into equal sized pieces. Form a round disc from each piece and place an apricot in the center. Then close the dough around the apricot well, making sure that no hole remains and that the dough is evenly thick. Roll it round with your hands.
Cook the dumplings
While shaping the dumplings, bring a large pot of water to a boil, lightly salt.Simmer the dumplings on low for about 15-20 minutes. For frozen apricots, a little longer. The dumplings can also be prepared in a steamer at 100 °C for 20-30 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size of the dumplings and the apricots.
Toast the breadcrumbs
In the meantime, heat oil or margarine in a pan and toast the breadcrumbs with vanilla sugar on medium heat until golden brown. Always stay by the stove and stir, because the breadcrumbs burn very easily.
Strain the cooked dumplings and roll them in the roasted breadcrumbs. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar - Enjoy!
