This year my mother-in-law taught me how to make this Pavelka family favorite dish...truly one of my husband's favorite things ever - probably because they typically only show up about once a year, in September, when the special small plums that are used to make this dish are in season. We made them with apricots and they were delicious. MIL does not use a recipe to make these - the hands-on instruction was, therefore, invaluable - and very fun.
You wrap each individual fruit in a doughy shell of dumpling and then boil. The juices are locked inside the dumpling. You then cut them up, remove the stone, and top with cottage cheese, cinnamon-sugar, and butter. (If you are not by now wishing you were Czech, there is something wrong with you.)
Matt was on call the day/night that we made them, so he enjoyed his knedliky for breakfast when he got home in the morning. You can see his excitement - in spite of the sleep deprivation.
sexy sexy knedliky!
