Tinginiai virtiniai (lazy curd-cheese dumplings) with berries

Ingredients (serves 3)

• Curd cheese (tvarog) 9%400 g
• Egg (1 egg)55 g
• Wheat flour100 g
• Natural yoghurt150 g
• Frozen mixed berries200 g

Also: A pinch of salt, vanilla

Method

1. Get ready: put a large pot of water on high heat (it will boil in about 10 min). Take the berries (200 g) out of the freezer to thaw.
2. In a bowl, mash 400 g curd cheese (tvarog) well with a fork together with the egg, a pinch of salt and the vanilla.
3. Stir in 100 g flour, keeping back 1 tbsp to dust the worktop. The dough will be soft – that's exactly how it should be.
4. On a floured worktop, roll the dough into a 2–3 cm thick log and cut it diagonally into 2 cm pieces.
5. Salt the boiling water, add the dumplings in batches and stir. Cook over medium heat until they float, then for another 2 min.
6. Lift out with a slotted spoon and serve with 150 g yoghurt and the berries.
