Cherry dumplings (yeast dough)
Description
Cherry dumplings turn out filling, juicy, and extremely delicious. They can be prepared regardless of the season, as you can use not only fresh but also canned or frozen cherries. The special feature of this recipe is the boiled dough, which is much softer and airier—it simply melts in your mouth.
