Preparation

 
Preparation Step 1– Dumpling
1. PREPARE THE DUMPLINGS: Mix the soft quark, egg and melted butter. Sift in the flour, add semolina. Mix well. Allow the mixture to chill for 2 hrs under a towel. Wash fruits & remove the stone through a small cut (otherwise the fruit will loose too much juice). Cover each of the fruits with a thick layer of dumpling dough- ensuring they are properly covered. Place them on a floured tray. Gently steam the dumplings for 15-20 minutes at 90°C or submerse in a pot of boiling water on the stove (until they float on top after 3-4 minutes). Carefully take the dumplings out of the water & remove excess water. Cool them completely in the fridge.
