Strawberries and wonton wrappers

Spring is in full swing, seasonal berries are plenty, perfect time to indulge in one of my favorite breakfast dishes-- strawberry dumplings.
When I was little, mama used to make them for us on her days off. Time consuming you see...but oh so worth every minute spend with that heavy rolling pin:)
Now, if you're lazy, or just saving time, grab some wonton wrappers at oriental grocery store and you're good to go. Wrapping them is easy and fun.


here's the recipe for the dough:



Dough:

1 egg
flour
pinch of salt
1c of ice cold milk (I drop an ice cube in the cup of milk, before I start the process)

strawberries
sugar
sour cream or butter, to top

Whisk egg, milk, salt together with a fork, and add flour, enough for you to be able to still mix it with a fork. Beat all the lumps out and pour the dough out on a heavily floured surface.Fold flour in until the dough is pliable, small amount at a time.
Once the dough is not sticking to your hands anymore, start kneading it, give it good 10-15 minutes.
Wrap in plastic and let 'relax' in the fridge.

-or-
buy wonton wrappers and use them ;)

toll out the dough as thin as you possibly can, add half of a strawberry, dust it with a little bit of sugar, and wrap in any shape you wish.

Boil in salted water, eat carefully, try not to bite your tongue off ;D oh yeah, they are that good!:)

Enjoy <3

p.s you can use blueberries or pitted cherries, they make some awesome dumplings too!
