Ingredients / Ingredients

  • 3 oua / 3 eggs
  • un praf de sare / a pinch of salt
  • faina cat cuprinde / flour as needed
  • gem (de prune, capsuni, caise, piserici etc.) – eu am folosit gem de prune / plum, strawberry, apricot, peach jam or any other kind of jam – I used plum jam
Pesmetul /  Breadcrumbs

  • 200 gr pesmet / 200 gr  breadcrumbs
  • 100 gr unt / 100 gr butter
  • 4 linguri zahar / 4 tablespoons sugar

Mod de preparare / Method of preparation

1. Se pune faina cu sare pe planseta de lucru, se sparg ouale in centrul ei si se incepe a incorpora faina cu buricele degetelor.
Put the flour with salt on the work board, break the eggs in the center and begin to incorporate the flour with the fingertips.

2. Se framanta coca cu podul palmelor cateva minute, presarand din cand in cand planseta cu putina faina.
Knead dough with the palms for a few minutes, sprinkling with a little flour occasionally.

3. Se framanta pana se obtine o compozitie de consistenta medie.
Knead until you get a medium consistency composition.

4. Se intinde aluatul obtinut intr-o foaie foarte subtire cu ajutorul unui sucitor.
Roll the batter in a very thin sheet using a rolling pin.

5. Cu ajutorul unei lingurite se aseaza gemul pe jumatate din foaia intinsa, in gramjoare mici la distante regulate.
Place the jam with the help of a teaspoon on half of the stretched sheet in small piles at regular distances.

6. Se acopera cu cealalta jumatate de foaie, se lipesc marginile si se taie patratele cu gemul in centru, folosind rotita dintata speciala ( eu dupa ce le-am taiat cu rotita le-am apasat pe margini cu o furculita).
Cover with the other half of the sheet, stick edges and cut small squares with the jam in the center, using a toothed wheel ( after I cut them I pressed the edges with a fork).

7. In timp ce se pregatesc tascutele cu gem se pune o oala cu apa la fiert.
While you prepare the jam pockets put a pot with water to boil.

8. Intr-o tigaie larga se topeste untul, adaugand pesmetul si se prajeste la foc mediu, amestecand constant pana cand pesmetul este usor prajit, cca 2-3 minute. Se adauga zaharul  si se stinge focul.
In a large pan melt the butter, add breadcrumbs and fry on medium heat, stirring constantly until breadcrumbs are slightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Add sugar and  switch off  the heat.

9. Tascutele umplute cu gem se aseaza pe rand in apa care fierbe (dar nu clocoteste) si se lasa sa fiarba pana se ridica la suprafata, cca 5 minute.
Place the jam pockets in the boiling water over low heat and let it simmer until they rise to the surface, about 5 minutes.
