Directions
Nana Edith’s Peach Dumplings, My Czechoslovakian Nana Edith used to make these every Summer We’d look forward to her call telling us she found ripe peaches, & to please come to lunch She taught my mother to make them & she taught me They may take a little practice & patience, but are well worth it! We still make a meal of them, but are great after a big salad or small dinner I usually use only four large peaches since the dough is the best part! Can be served hot, cold, or room temp They can also be made smaller with apricots , Our family serves peach dumplings as a main-course side dish to pan-fried pork chops To unsweeten Nana Edith’s recipe, exchange two heaping tablespoons of baking powder for the sugar, then proceed with the he recipe as stated When ready to serve, slice the dumpling in half, remove the pit, put a dollop of cottage cheese on the hot dumpling and drizzle with melted butter , Thank you! Like Patsy, I remember this from childhood but couldn’t remember how to make the dough You can also use this with plums, cottage cheese and other fruits Our neighbor in Berwyn, IL used to make all kinds! But peaches are the best Jill
