Nutritional values

Potatoes, coarsely ground flour and wholemeal semolina contribute significantly to the extremely high fibre content of plum dumplings. Plus points are also given\'s for the half day's intake of blood pressure-lowering potassium, which is hidden in every portion.

Tip for saving grease: Instead of butter, use half-fat or yoghurt butter. However, these products are not suitable for browning and high heating due to their higher liquid content, so please let them become liquid at low heat.
