My culinary version of “Malenchki” (meaning “little ghosts” - SHADOW AND BONE by Leigh Bardugo): sweet dumplings served with the last of summer peaches that were stolen by mud-faced little ghosts
1 1/2 cup of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk
cinnamon
granulated sugar
Whisk all the dry ingredients together first and add the milk slowly, whisking continuously until the dough is soft and smooth.
Fill a wide pan with water and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring to boil. Then lower heat in order to keep the water simmering. Drop batter in liquid (about 10 spoonfuls of batter at a time well spaced apart). Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove dumplings (they will be swollen by now) and let cool down.
Place a few on a plate, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, add a few slices/dice of peach, and serve.
Um. YUM.
