Germknödel Recipe in English

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Pour 3 and 3/4 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Mix instant yeast with the flour, then add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.

Add salt and soft butter to the mixture.

Pour in 1 cup of warm milk and add 1 egg.

Add vanilla extract to the mixture.

Mix everything until well incorporated and let it sit for 1 hour covered with a clean towel in a warm place.

After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size.

Dust the work surface with flour and roll out the dough, ensuring it is not too thin.

Place a spoonful of apricot and peach preserves in the center of the flattened dough.

Seal the dough around the filling tightly, twisting the top to ensure it is closed properly.

Let the filled dumplings rise for another 15-20 minutes.

Prepare a steamer setup with a pot of water and a rack above it, spraying the rack with nonstick spray.

Once the water is boiling, place the dumplings on the rack, ensuring they are not too close together.

Cover the dumplings and steam for about 20 minutes until cooked through.

Prepare a sauce with the leftover juice from the filling, adding sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cream.

Serve the dumplings warm topped with the sauce.
