OMG, this made me so happy ... I wanted a traditional Croatian dumpling recipe and I found it on food52 ... I knew 10000% this recipe was Croatian!
Both my parents were Croatian (my mama was an Exceptional cook/baker) unfortunately, lost them both this year within 4 months (not to Covid thank God) I never asked her for the recipe but somehow, She showed me the best today ... ❤️ Hvala od srce Anka!

Our Baba was Serbian and she made these plum dumplings but called them “knoedelettes”. She boiled them and we ate them with sugar and heavy cream! The best! That was 60+ years ago. My sisters still make them!

Wait, now that I re-read the recipe I think our mom did brown the saltine crumbs in the butter as your recipe states. Mom was also from Croatia! She always told us this was a traditional Croatia dish. She'd put one in our lunch sack and kids always were envious. No sandwich on dumpling day!

My mother made these every year during Italian Plum season. I use her family recipe and it is quite similar. One thing that is different is we roll them in crushed saltines and then brown them in the butter and serve with sugar. One of the best memories every time I take a bite!

I believe our favorite food is all about memories they bring and how they make us fell.

Hi - I am so with you. This used to be my all time favorite dish. And no fruit could compete with plums. We tried sour cherries occasionally, and it was nice too, but plumes -- they rule! Btw, my grandma used toasted cream of wheat instead of breadcrumbs...

Oh my gosh, Anka, this brings back so many memories! Silvas gomboc were a favorite at my grandmother's; my uncle would tease me by sneaking his plum pits onto my plate so everyone would think I ate the most. For us, it was a vegetarian supper, maybe preceded by vegetable soup. I'll have to make these!
