Dumplings with frozen strawberries
Description
Cooking with frozen berries is almost no different from using fresh ones. But sometimes, even in the off-season, you want to enjoy something delicious with summer berries. I suggest making dumplings with the most delicious, fragrant, and sweet summer berry loved by adults and especially children. Even when frozen, it gives dumplings a unique, unforgettable flavor. The dough can be made with sour cream—it turns out soft, tender, and doesn't stick to your hands.
