After the time has passed, we roll the dough with a sausage and cut it into equal parts (Remember! The size of the dumpling will depend on the size of the parts of the dough!). We slightly roll each part with a rolling pin, put a few raspberries in the center and sprinkle with sugar.
We pinch the edges of each part of the dough, forming a dumpling. If you want, you can make curly, wavy edges. To do this, you need to press the small parts with your thumb to your index finger, and so - along the entire seam. So that the dough does not reach for your fingers, you need to moisten your hands in oil or dip in flour.
Put the resulting dumplings with raspberries into a double boiler tray, greased with olive oil. We turn on the steamer for 20 minutes.

This is due to the fact that the combination of dumplings dough with vegetable, berry or cottage cheese filling allows you to get a unique and very harmonious taste. In addition, this delicious dish turns out to be quite satisfying, and if you serve it for breakfast, you will not need any other addition. In summer, dumplings with berry filling, such as raspberries, are especially popular. Their delicate taste and unique aroma do not leave indifferent neither children nor adults.
Cooking features
The process of preparing dumplings with raspberries is not particularly difficult, but without knowing some of the subtleties, you should not start cooking - in this case, the dumplings can turn out to be hard and tasteless, or, on the contrary, fall apart during cooking.
- For dumplings, it is better to use fresh raspberries. If you fill them with a frozen berry containing a lot of juice, the dough will become soggy and the dumplings will burst.
- Raspberries for the filling must be carefully washed, dipped in a colander in cool water, and then dried, scattered on a kitchen towel - getting excess moisture into the filling can lead to unpleasant consequences.
- Do not add a lot of sugar to the filling. At the same time, they do not sprinkle the berry in advance, otherwise it will begin to secrete juice, and the filling will turn out to be too liquid.
- To make the filling thicker, sprinkle raspberries with a small amount of starch.
- Vareniki retain their shape better if they are steamed. However, you can also boil products in boiling water, especially since this method is considered traditional. In this case, it is important to take care that the dumplings do not stick together. To do this, you need a large and wide pan in which the products will not be cramped. You need to lower the dumplings into the water one at a time and only after it boils. Products should be removed with a slotted spoon within a couple of minutes after they rise to the surface. It must be understood that as a result of long cooking, the integrity of the products may be violated, as a result of which the filling will fall out.
- The dough will be more tender if the flour is sifted before use. And vegetable oil will give it elasticity - it can be added in a small amount, even if it is not indicated in the recipe.
- Ready dumplings are immediately greased with butter or rolled in sour cream. This is done in order to prevent them from sticking together.
Raspberry dumplings are served with powdered sugar, syrup, whipped cream. Somewhat less often, they are supplemented with yogurt or sour cream, although dumplings always go well with sour-milk products.
