200 years later and this recipe is still nearly identical to modern day Czech style boiled fruit dumplings. Though the crust may be different, the filling and boiling method are the same as is serving them with butter & sugar! However, unlike these modern day dumplings which are only usually boiled for no more than 10-20 minutes, this antique recipe calls for them to be boiled for a full hour. Maybe the author was still trying to figure this one out? What do you think? I've translated the original recipe into modern instructions below 😺🐈‍⬛. Raspberry Dumplings, 1828 2.3 cups of flour + a couple extra tablespoons for sprinkling 1.5 sticks of butter + 1 tablespoon melted for drizzling once done Cold water Raspberry jam 2 tablespoons of sugar Water, for boiling Prepare the paste by combining your flour and 1 stick of butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the butter is no bigger than rice among the flour. Add in enough cold water to make it into a dough. Add your water a little at a time. If you have accidentally added too much water add a dash more flour until you get a proper dough that isn't too sticky nor too dry. Roll the dough out as thin as a coin then dot it with small bits of butter, dust with flour, fold over, and roll out again. Do this a total of 3x. You will use up half a stick of butter when doing this. Roll out again thin, as you would when preparing pie crust. Cut into either squares or circles using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Put a small dab of raspberry jam in the center of each, fold up, pinch and roll in your hands till you have formed a ball. Repeat for all of them till you've used up all of your dough. Simmer for 1 hour (or...20 minutes if you too disagree with the original recipe. If you try this please let me know how it turned out!). Drizzle melted butter onto a plate. Lay down your cooked dumplings and sprinkle sugar on top.

My grandma made fruit pierogis along with savory. Hers were only boiled a few minutes till they floated then fried. I like how you keep to the recipe even if you suspect it might not turn out great.

I've had dumplings before, never raspberry. How cool. Thank you.

That's exactly what I was thinking, also. Not only the flour, but all the ingredients were a tad different back in the day. But yeah, especially the flour makes the difference and that is the most plausible explanation for the increased boiling time. As you, Justine, noticed, some recipes that you tried called for a different amount of modern flour to use than the olden type of flour. And because of that, it might be possible that the olden flour needs more time to boil or cook, in general.

@chrishill9016

To my knowledge, white flour wasn't common until the 1880's when the roller mill was invented,otherwise you had to sift the bran out yourself to get it, mostly royalty food at that point.

Justine, you look so cute when you're peaking back at the cat while prepping your dumplings! Impossible to resist a kitty pet or two!

Greetings from Montana, Justine 👋😊 your face said it all 😂😂 The idea of a raspberry dumpling sounded delicious, but, I was surprised when they were to be boiled. I would definitely try this recipe only instead of boiling I would be deep frying. Hope you are having a blessed week! ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸

When I hear "dumpling" I always think of chicken or pot stickers and savory. This is intriguing!

Ah yes! It appears you have one of those mysterious roof cats. They like to sit in high places and you never see how they get up there. When removed from their perch, they almost instantly return....screaming for aid. Truly a very intriguing and infuriating creature. I've experiences quite a few of them.

I bet those would taste good deep fried. Anyway, I'm curious, where did you get the wood mixing bowl because I want one.

yeah, we excatly do that here in Czech Republic, but the dumplings are filled with a half of a plum or a strawberries. Also blueberries or apricots are great option. And when you should serve these with melted butter, grated hard cottage cheese and sprinkled with sugar.

I really appreciate how transparent you were on this recipe, how not all of your cooking videos shows amazing and the best turned out food

1:00 Mish Mash licking his chops asking "Whats fcr dinner", 7:36 Justine "Where is Ron when I need him?" lmao

Boiling them for an hour did seem too long. I bet you could use strawberry jam just as well. Maybe baked or fried would be a better choice. Love your honest comment about the recipe. ❤

Here in North Carolina, raspberries aren't as plentiful as blueberries, or blackberries, so I use those to make fruit dumplings. When my husband and I did reenacting, I would feed our unit recipes like this.

She’s beautiful and fascinating to watch cook. Always looks delicious!

Mish-Mish wanted some butter. When he didn't get any, he went on the roof to taunt Justine!

We have a similar recipie in Appalachia for blackberry dumplins. It's amazing.

I think baking or frying these would be delicious. Gonna try it with different jams and fruit.

Dying at the cat on the roof! 🤣🤣🤣 Interesting recipe--I bet these would taste awesome fried or baked

I love this channel. It refreshing after a long day.

My husband’s Czech Grandmother would make fruit dumplings when the prune plums were ripe but she used fresh fruit not jam.

I don't really know anything about dumplings (hated them since childhood), and I was way on board with buttery puff pastry and raspberry jam. At 4:47 I started singing the "Please Don't Boil Them" song and was immediately crying. 😂 Needless to say, I've learned THE main thing about dumplings...always made with wet, wet heat...which is the reason I've never liked them. 😆 Edit: Google informed me dumplings can be made by frying in a pan. Dumplings are not completely dead to me! \o/ (No idea how historical pan fried dumplings are tho).

Just a thought: what if you boiled them for 15-20 minutes, but then added them to a hot pan with melted butter? Maybe get a slight crisp on them for a texture difference? (Similar to a gnocchi)
