There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

1. In a bowl, combine the butter, salt, and lemon zest. Whip until
fluffy. Add the whole egg, and egg yolk, and continue to beat to
blend. Beat in the farmer cheese, sour cream, and powdered sugar. Add
the flour slowly and beat until smooth. Allow the dough to rest for
30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Cut the plums or apricots in half and remove the pits, if
necessary. If the fruit isn't sweet, place 1 cube of sugar in the
hollow of each half.
3. On a marble pastry board, roll out dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a
pastry wheel, cut the dough into a grid of 5-inch squares. If you're
using strawberries, make
18 (3-inch) squares.
4. Place a piece of fruit, cut side down, on each circle of dough
and pull the pastry up around the fruit. Seal by pinching the pastry
together.
The dumplings can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead to this point.
Refrigerate until ready to boil.
5. Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add 8 dumplings and
simmer until they rise to the top, approximately 15 minutes. Remove
with a slotted spoon. Keep warm on a covered plate. Repeat with the
remaining dumplings.
6. To serve: Plum dumplings: Sprinkle with poppy seeds and powdered
sugar
Apricot dumplings: Sprinkle with farmer cheese, pressed through a
sieve, and the powdered sugar
Strawberry dumplings: Roll in the toasted plain bread crumbs and
sprinkle with the powdered sugar.
((Note: My mother used to make these with whole pitted apricots and
whole pitted plums, always with a sugar cube in the center, and
always rolling the finished product in the toasted bread crumbs, and
the sprinkling the dumplings with sugar. Karin))
