About

Dumplings with Poppy Seeds and Raisins are a sweet and nostalgic dessert often found in Central and Eastern European cuisine. This dessert features soft dough parcels stuffed with a mixture of ground poppy seeds and juicy raisins that have been sweetened and spiced with sugar, honey, and cinnamon. The dumplings are boiled until plump and tender, then tossed in melted butter, and finally sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and additional poppy seeds. They offer a contrast of textures from the chewy dough to the crunchy seeds and soft raisins within, making them a truly indulgent treat. Typically enjoyed during festive seasons or as a special dessert, they represent comfort food at its finest.
