Knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes and set it aside.

Fill a pot with about a gallon of water, add a pinch of salt, and set it on the stove to boil.

Remove the stems from the raspberries, rinse them, and slice into small pieces; place them in a bowl.

Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of sugar over the raspberries and mix; set aside to let juices form.

Roll the dough flat to about 1 to 1.5 mm thick and cut circles about 4 to 5 inches wide.

Drop the filled dumpling into the boiling water immediately.

Once they float to the top, wait one more minute, then scoop them out with a slotted spoon onto a plate.

Top with the sour cream and berry mix and a few chopped berries as garnish.
