Special meals call for elegant desserts like this. Sweet plums are halved then tucked inside a pretty pastry pocket.—Martha Voss, Dickinson, North Dakota

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 medium black plums, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Melted butter and cinnamon-sugar

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk and egg just until blended. Divide into six portions.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, pat each portion of dough into a 5-in. circle. Place a plum half on each circle. Gently bring up corners of dough to center; pinch edges to seal.
  3. In a Dutch oven, bring water and butter to a boil. Carefully add dumplings. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. Serve warm with pan juices, melted butter and cinnamon-sugar.
