Suggestions.

• The slow cooker is suitable for steaming dumplings.
• It is better to take dense strawberries for the filling. These berries will not turn into porridge.
• Strawberries can be put in the core as a whole berry or cut into small plates. It is better to chop the berries before sculpting, otherwise they will give juice.
• Sugar և starch should be added to the berry. It does not allow the juice to flow out of the dumplings.

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour – 4.5–5 tsp.

• Kefir 2.5% – 0.5 l.

• Potato starch – two tbsp. spoons

• Small strawberries – 700 gr

• Sugar: 300 gr

Step by step recipe.

• Making kefir dough. Add soda and a pinch of salt to hot kefir and leave for 12-15 minutes. The mixture will increase in size և and will be covered with numerous air bubbles.
• Gradually, we add the flour to the kefir mixture in small portions (half a cup each). The dough should be homogeneous, without poorly mixed flour impurities. Therefore, after each addition of flour, mix it well with kefir. Be sure to break the molded balls. A spoon or fork is perfect for this.
• After the dough thickens, add the rest of the flour and mix well. The mass should be soft, but not stick to the hands. You may need a little more flour depending on the gluten it contains.
• Cover the bowl with a towel իս while preparing the filling, let it rest for a while.
• We harvest strawberries. We wash the berries under water, dry them well and remove the tails. When all the water is gone, sprinkle the berries with starch.
• Before starting the dumpling sculpture, pour half a liter of water into a multi-apartment bowl, put a steam container on it, select the “Steam” mode.
• Roll the dough into a thick sausage. Divide it into equal small pieces to make a thin cake 3 mm thick from each. Put one or two strawberries in the center of each slip, add granulated sugar (less than one teaspoon) և close the ends well with your fingers, forming dumplings.
• When the water boils more often, put some dumplings on the steam container and close the lid. Do not forget that the dumplings will grow during cooking, so leave a distance between them.
• Cook each batch for no more than 4 minutes, then return to the water. When boiling, add only hot water.
• Serve dumplings hot with sour cream.
