Directions

  1. Place dried mushrooms in a small saucepan and cover with hot water, bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and chop into small pieces.

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, cook and stir until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, continue cooking until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Add breadcrumbs if filling seems too wet.

  3. Combine flour, hot milk, and egg yolk in a large bowl, stirring quickly with a fork until a soft and smooth dough forms.

  4. Roll dough out on a lightly-floured surface. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and pinch edges to seal. Bring the bottom corners together and pinch together.

  5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook dumplings in batches until they float to the surface of the water, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate with a slotted spoon.

Recipe Note

This is my Polish grandmother's recipe for mushroom dumplings, which she has always insisted must be served with borscht.
