Hungarian Gombóc with Dairy-Free Breadcrumbs

Ingredients

• 1 lb Potatoes (Russet)
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 12 small Plums
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 cup Dairy-Free Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Vegan Butter
• 2 tbsp Sugar (for coating)

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 lb of Russet Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour and the 1/2 tsp of Salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms, ensuring it is not too sticky. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
3. 3Prepare the plum filling by pitting the 12 small Plums. In a small bowl, mix the 1 tsp of Cinnamon with the 2 tbsp of Sugar. Place a pinch of this cinnamon-sugar mixture into the center of each pitted plum.
4. 4Divide the potato dough into 12 equal portions. Take one portion of dough, flatten it into a disc in your palm, place one prepared plum in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around the plum, pinching to seal completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and plums.
5. 5Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the 12 formed dumplings to the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and appear cooked through.
6. 6While the dumplings are cooking, melt the 1/4 cup of Vegan Butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the 1 cup of Dairy-Free Breadcrumbs and the 2 tbsp of Sugar (for coating). Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the boiling water. Immediately transfer the dumplings to the skillet with the toasted breadcrumb mixture. Gently toss the dumplings to coat them evenly with the crispy breadcrumbs.
8. 8Serve the Hungarian Gombóc warm.
