sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness, while brown sugar is usually cheaper.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often more affordable.

apricots

🥗Healthier: peaches

💰Cheaper: canned apricots

Peaches can be a healthier alternative, while canned options are budget-friendly.

Mix all the ingredients together and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the apricots, press the stone out with the handle of a wooden spoon, insert a sugar cube.

Fill a large, flat pan with water, add 1 pinch of salt.

Form balls from the dough, press flat, lay the apricot on top and wrap with the dough.

Press the ends together with your fingertips and form nice, round balls.

Place the dumplings in boiling water and simmer gently for approx. 20 minutes, stirring carefully from time to time.

To make buttered breadcrumbs, melt butter, add breadcrumbs and sugar, and roast until golden brown.

Lift the dumplings out of the water, roll carefully in buttered breadcrumbs, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
