//For Smoke & Vapour we used the recipe below, but it wasn't satisfactory. The balls collapsed in the steamer into a relatively flat cake. This needs further experimentation (e.g. use recipe above, use only egg yolks, use self-raising flour instead of baking powder, get 'ostro brasno' from Croatia… NOTE: I tried making the dumplings using the same ingredients from S&V a few days later with the recipe above and they worked MUCH better.// | |

<del> * 250g eastern European quark/cottage cheese | |
* 2 egg yolks | |
* 2 teaspoons of salt | |
* 2 tablespoons sour cream | |
* 3 tablespoons semolina | |
* 5 tablespoons spelt flour | |
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder | |
* 2 beaten egg-whites | |
| |
Mix all ingredients, add beaten egg-whites at the end. Form balls and steam in bamboo steamer for about 7--10 minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter and add bread crumbs. Stir until golden brown and crunchy. Take the dumplings out of the steamer and cover in a dusting of breadcrumbs.</del> | |
