Grandma Tosia's dumplings

Grandma Tosia brought this recipe from the Vilnius Region and since I can remember, it is the number one dish on our Christmas Eve table and no other dish can compete with it. They can be frozen and reheated later in the oven. This saves valuable time before Christmas. They blush beautifully and are crunchy. They taste delicious with red borsch.
