Lazy dumplings
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Lazy dumplings are a simple and hearty meal for you and your loved ones. If desired, you can cook part of the semi-finished products right away, and freeze the rest for later use. I will be baking lazy dumplings in the oven, but you can also prepare them on the stovetop using any heavy-bottomed cookware. Serve hot.

Step 10
Dilute the sour cream in water, add salt to taste, and pour the resulting sauce over the dumplings. The amount of liquid should be slightly more than half. Place pieces of butter on top. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 20–25 minutes. By this time, the sauce should be completely absorbed. If desired, you can replace the sour cream sauce with cream, or use a tomato or tomato-sour cream sauce to taste.
