Dampfnudeln (Steamed Sweet Dumplings)

Fluffy yeast dumplings with a crisp caramel crust and vanilla sauce.

Ingredients · for 4 servings

• 500 g flour
• 250 ml lukewarm milk
• 1 sachet dry yeast
• 60 g sugar
• 60 g butter
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch of salt
• 250 ml milk for cooking
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 30 g butter for the pan

Instructions

1. Knead a smooth yeast dough from the flour, milk, yeast, sugar, butter, egg and salt.
2. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
3. Shape small balls and let them prove for another 20 minutes.
4. Heat the butter, milk and sugar in a pan and place the dumplings inside.
