Here’s the recipe for Semolina Dumplings with Nougat Filling!

Ingredients - serves 4

The dumpling:

180g semolina

120g butter

500ml milk

2 tbsp. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

125g firm nougat

icing sugar

The buttered bread crumbs

150g bread crumbs

4 tbsp. sugar

100g butter

1 tsp. cinnamon

Method

For the dumplings, mix milk, butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a pot and bring to a boil.

Add in semolina and cook until the mass comes off the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Work the eggs into the batter, using a spoon. Cover the pot and set aside.

Seperate the nougat into 8 portions and form into balls. Also seperate the dumpling batter into 8 portions. Now coat each portion of nougat with a portion of batter and form to dumplings. Bring a large pot with plenty of slightly salted water to a boil. Cook the dumplings in slightly salted water for about 15 minutes.

In the meantime, heat the butter in a large pan. Add in bread crumbs and roast until golden brown. Add in sugar and cinnamon, combine and set aside. Remove the dumplings with a skimmer, drain and cover with buttered bread crumbs. Dust with icing sugar & enjoy. Best served with a fruity compote or vanilla custard.
