Divide the dough into 2 logs. On a lightly floured surface, shape the logs and cut them into small pieces.3
Bring salted water to a boil. Cook the dumplings in batches for about 2–3 minutes after they float to the surface. Remove and set aside.4
Melt the butter in a pan, add a little brown sugar, then add the cranberries. Fry briefly until a buttery glaze forms.5
Add the cooked dumplings to the pan and fry, stirring, until golden and lightly crispy, coated in the glaze.Notes
