Ingredients: 300 g all-purpose flour; 150 ml warm water; 1 large egg; 300 g pitted cherries (fresh or frozen); 30 g sugar (for filling + service); 1 tbsp starch (to bind juice); 30 g sour cream or yogurt (to serve)

Boil in salted water. Once floating, 2-3 min more. Drain.

Serve hot with sour cream / yogurt and the remaining sugar.
