We all know how many types of dumplings there are, all of them with different fillings and different options for preparing the dough. The most popular options for salty fillings for dumplings: potatoes, cabbage, cottage cheese, mushrooms, meat. But there are also sweet fillings: blueberries, cherries, sweet cottage cheese, apples. In fact, there are a lot of fillings, because housewives often combine fillings, such as cabbage and mushrooms, cottage cheese and berries.  Today we will share with you the best recipe for making blueberry dumplings. They are very simple to prepare, but you need to know a few tips and all of them will be in our article.

As always, we start preparing dumplings by preparing the dough. For this we need: flour, eggs, water, a little salt. It is best to take good quality wheat flour, because then the dumplings will turn out soft and snow-white. You can also sift the flour through a sieve several times, because after that the flour will contain more oxygen. Sift all the flour into a deep bowl, then make a large depression in it, try to make the sides as high as possible, then the liquid will not run away and spill throughout the bowl. Using a spoon, carefully and gradually begin to combine the flour and water so that the flour absorbs all the water, then add the egg and a little salt, mix everything well again.Then start kneading the dough; to make it more convenient for you, transfer the contents of the bowl to a table that is well sprinkled with flour. You need to knead the dough with both hands and for as long as possible, then it will be more elastic. Be careful with flour, if you add too much, the dough will be hard and tasteless, and it will also take much longer to cook. If you make the dough too soft, it will fall apart. When the dough is ready, divide it into parts, form a ball and start rolling, roll out the sheet half a centimeter thick and squeeze out round cakes with a glass.

When you have already prepared the dough for making dumplings, you can start preparing the filling. In our case, the filling is very simple - blueberries with sugar. Attention, a very important tip to prevent blueberries from releasing too much juice, add a couple of spoons of semolina to it. The semolina will absorb excess juice and this will make it more convenient to sculpt the dumplings, and during the cooking process, they will not come apart from the juice. When sculpting the dumplings, make sure that all the edges are well molded and the filling is not visible. You should cook the dumplings immediately after you have stuck them on, because they can get soggy or stick to the board. Cooking dumplings is quite simple, but the main thing here is to throw the dumplings into boiling water. Stir the dumplings very carefully so as not to damage them.Make sure that they do not get overcooked; as a rule, dumplings are cooked for no more than fifteen minutes. Dumplings need to be drained well and rinsed with cold water, then they will not stick together. Dumplings are served with blueberries sprinkled with sugar and sour cream.
