| Steamed Sweet Dumplings - Buchty Na Pare |
Especially on Fridays.
Every Friday was meatless day at my grandma's house. Every Friday we got to enjoy sweet and delicious meals like crepes, sweet cottage cheese noodles, plum or apricot dumpling and lots of other sinfully sweet and yummy meals.
Lucky for all the grandkids my grandpa was a big kid and he loved his sweets so there was an unwritten law that meatless Friday will be SWEET Friday.
One of my favorite sweet dishes were Buchty na Pare - Steamed Sweet Dumplings.
Last week I was thinking about my grandparents and I decided to make delicious SWEET DUMPLINGS for my boys.
I had the recipe for years, but I never made them before so I was little scared especially since I had to improvise with some different ingredients.
My Sweet Dumplings turned out great. My boys inhaled them the minute they hit the plate.
My mom drove 25 minutes to come over just to taste them herself.
My Buchty na Pare received my family approval and will be added to our recipe file.
PRINTABLE VERSION
Ingredients:
- 41/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Milk (warm not hot)
- 1/3 cup Powder Sugar
- 30g Fresh Yeast
- 1 Egg
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
- Jam (your choice - make sure it's not runny)
STEP 1: In a bowl or large measuring cup mix together warm milk and powdered sugar. Crumble fresh yeast and let is rise for 5-8 minutes.
STEP 2: In a large bowl mix together flour, salt, egg and melted butter. Add yeast mixture and mix it all well together.
STEP 3: Cover the bowl with clean dishcloth and let it rise. I usually put it in the oven at 145F for about 50 minutes. The dough should double or more in size.
STEP 4: After the dough has risen enough put it on floured counter and roll it till it's about 1/2" thick.
STEP 5: Slice it into 3" x 3" squares. Place half a teaspoon of jam in the middle. Lifting and pinching together all four corners make a little ball.
STEP 6: In a large pot boil about 3" of water, cover the pot with dishcloth and wrap around with a string. Make sure the dishcloth is really tight on top. Turn down the heat so the water is not rapidly boiling. Place dumplings on top of the dishcloth about 2"apart. Cover with large pot or bowl. Make sure the steam is not coming out, but staying all inside.
STEP 7: Let the dumplings steam for 10-12 minutes.
STEP 8: Put them on the place. Pour little bit of melted butter on top and sprinkle with cocoa and powder sugar.

You can also use regular steamer if you have one. My grandma always did it this way so I wanted to do it just like her.

Hi Miss Bibi! I love love love that you are using your granny's recipe and doing it exactly the same way! The steaming idea over the dish cloth is priceless and shows that our granny's didn't need fancy stuff to get the job done! Thanks for sharing this on the hearth and soul hop!

Bibiana, I always enjoy learning about your family, your history, and about Slovakian cuisine. I love the history and nostalgia behind this recipe, and love the way that Meatless Friday became Sweet Friday!
