Lazy dumplings are the first dish that girls are taught to cook on their own at school in labor lessons. True, the classic version, but having mastered its technique, you can move on to more advanced recipes. Such a meal will help out any housewife, especially if you need to quickly figure out something hearty and hot for breakfast. However, even though this dish was taught at school, over the years the recipe is forgotten and many novice housewives entering family life do not know which side to approach it. I propose to correct this injustice and prepare a delicious treat for the whole family.
Briefly about the recipe: the classic ingredients of the dish are flour (sometimes semolina), cottage cheese, sugar, egg and salt. Berries, fruits, dried fruits, chocolate, nuts, seeds, etc. can also be added. In addition, lazy dumplings can be flavored with additional sweet ingredients already on the plate after boiling. Then the products are all mixed, the dough is formed by a sausage, which is cut into pieces and boiled for 5 minutes. As you can see, the principle of cooking is extremely simple. At the same time, sometimes difficulties arise, then they fall apart during cooking, then they turn out to be rubber, then too flourish. To prevent this from happening, you need to know some of the subtleties that will help you better cope with the recipe.
- For the tenderness of the dough - a little cream is added to it.
- Curd dough whipped with a blender - uniform texture dumplings. If you like to feel the curd lumps, then this is not necessary.
- For the tenderness of the dumplings, cottage cheese can be rubbed through a sieve.
- Sifted flour is a more airy product.
- The less flour, the more "curd" lazy dumplings, and vice versa.

Cooking lazy pumpkin dumplings
1. Make pumpkin puree. To do this, peel the pumpkin, cut into cubes, fill with drinking water and cook for 15-20 minutes until soft. After that, drain the water, and crush the pumpkin with a crush until the consistency of mashed potatoes.
2. Combine curd and pumpkin puree in a bowl.
3. Add salt and flour. Flour can be completely or partially replaced with semolina, rye or oat flour.
4. Wash the orange, dry and grate its zest. If you like the taste of citrus, you can grate the zest of the whole orange, for a light note - half of the fruit is enough.
5. Knead the dough, add honey and beat in the eggs.
6. Mix everything well again.
7. Divide the curd dough into 3-4 parts and roll each of them with a sausage. If you wish, you can give it a square shape.
8. Cut the curd sausage into portions.
9. Then sloths can freeze for future use. To do this, grind the plate with flour, put the dumplings on it and send it to the freezer.
10. When they are frozen, put in a bag and keep in the freezer.
11. And when you decide to eat a dish. Pour water into a cooking pot, add a little salt, boil and dip the dumplings into it. Heat medium-high, stir to prevent sticking or sticking to the bottom, and simmer for about 1 to 2 minutes. As soon as sloths float to the surface of the water, take out with a slotted spoon and put on a dish.
12. Serve hot dumplings with cold sour cream or cream.
