This recipe for dumplings with poppy seeds probably comes from Turkey - there has long been traditionally prepared dush-var on sour milk. Whitish and thick, soft and quite large - this is what poppy seed dumplings look like in sour milk and soda.

Ingredients

• 400 ml of sour milk

1. Mix sour milk with soda and salt, add flour, and knead the elastic dough for dumplings.

4. In the most difficult stage, the slightest inaccuracy can ruin all efforts. Put dumplings in boiling water. The point is to:
5. • Dumplings did not float above the water surface - so all the time we try to immerse them in the water with a skimmer.
6. • Remove the dumplings 1.5 (!) Minutes after boiling very quickly spread on a dry clean towel. And just as quickly turn to the other side, so that the dumplings become dry as soon as possible. Digested dumplings look glossy, and become firm.
7. According to the recipe, dumplings with poppy seeds are tasted with honey. Real liquid honey happens only immediately after pumping. And the hardened one, heat in a water bath. Only the water temperature should be up to 50 ° C so that the honey does not lose its healing properties.
