These soft, doughy delights, filled with ripe plums, are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors.

Originally a Central European treat, plum dumplings are popular in many regions, including Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary, where they are often called "gomboce." 

The name "gomboce" is believed to come from the Hungarian word "gomb," meaning "ball," which perfectly describes the shape of this delicious dessert.

Made with a simple potato-based dough, knedle are filled with whole plums, sweetened with sugar and a hint of cinnamon. 

Once boiled, they are rolled in crispy, sweet breadcrumbs, giving them a delightful texture that contrasts with the soft filling inside. Perfect for any season, but especially comforting during the cooler months, these dumplings are a nostalgic treat for many.

Whether you enjoy them as a dessert or a sweet snack, plum dumplings are a timeless classic that brings warmth and sweetness to any table.
