Czech Plum Jam Dumplings with Breadcrumbs
These plum-filled dumplings with breadcrumbs are a cheap, meatless dish that anyone can make. The dough needs only flour, water, egg and salt, so if you have plum butter at home the whole meal costs next to nothing. Instead of breadcrumbs you can also use ground poppy seeds, grated gingerbread or nuts. They are ready in no time and taste absolutely fantastic.
