Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs and salt. When well combined, add

   flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.

2. Place a large pot of salted water on to boil. On a lightly floured surface, roll

   dough to 1/3 inch. Cut into 2-inch squares. Place a plum in the center of each

   before crimping if necessary to seal. Carefully drop into boiling water.

   Repeat until all plums are in the water. Cook 30 minutes.

   slotted spoon, remove dumplings to a colander to drain. Place dumplings in

   skillet, coating with buttered crumbs. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle

   with cinnamon sugar.
