Gomb?c ("GUM-BOHTS") is a sweet dish eaten by Hungarians as dessert after a meal or as main course after soup. It is a dumpling made from potato, flour and eggs, filled with a whole plum, a piece of apricot, other fruit or jam. Other varieties include t?r?gomb?c, in which potato is replaced with t?r? in the dough.
Pre-heat a deep saucepan on the stove with salted water, bring to the boil so its ready for dumpling to be place into the water. The deeper the water, the more dumpling you can cook at once.
Mash potatoes very finely, then add flour, salt and melted butter and egg to potato mixture.
Knead into a soft dough. Put onto a pre-floured pastry board and roll out to thickness of your finger.
Cut into palm sized squares using a knife or cookie cutter. Put in any flavoured jam or fruit as desired into the middle of each square. Don''t overfill or you will have trouble closing the squares up. Pinch together the dough on top, and roll up the squares into balls. This can sometimes be difficult if you have too much jam inside, so be sure to seal up the jam ball as much as possible otherwise it will burst in the boiling water and lose its contents.
Put the dumplings into boiling water. Once they are fulling cooked they will rise to the surface of the water. Be sure to stir the saucepan a little to avoid the dumplings sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Set aside each cooked dumpling. Once all dumplings are cooked, you can toss them in toasted breadcrumbs. You may either pre-toast the breadcrumbs or toss the warm dumplings into a slow cooking saucepan with breadcrumbs.
You may also wish to cut finger shaped noodles with the dough mixture to go with the dumplings and just cook the same was as the dumplings in the water and then toss with toasted breadcrumbs. Tip: Toasting alot of breadcrumbs can be quite messy, so make sure you have a large clear area to cook this.
