You'll need (for 6 portions):

For the dumplings:

- 8.8 oz flour
- 1¾ tsp dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 4.2 fl oz milk
- 0.9 oz melted butter
- 1 egg yolk

You'll also need:

- approx. 2.5 oz plum jelly
- vanilla sauce
- 0.9 oz ground poppy seeds
- 1.7 oz icing sugar

Here's how:

1. Use an electric whisk to knead all of the ingredients for the dumpling dough. Leave the dough covered for one hour in a warm place.

2. Next, split the dough into six equally-sized pieces. Flatten each piece of dough into small round disks. Place a large teaspoon of plum jelly into the center of each dough disk. Enclose the plum jelly and form a ball using your hands. Make sure that the filling stays inside. Leave the dumplings for another 15 minutes in a covered bowl.

3. Cook the dumplings in a sieve over a water bath for 12 to 16 minutes. When serving, pour some vanilla sauce on the dumplings before sprinkling some poppy seeds and icing sugar on top.
