Ingredients
- 500g sisky (dumplings)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Butter for frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the sisky (dumplings). If you are using store-bought sisky, follow the package instructions for cooking. If you are making them from scratch, combine flour, eggs, and water to form a dough, then shape it into small dumplings.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the sisky into the boiling water and cook them for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Once cooked, remove them from the water and set aside to drain.
- While the sisky are cooking, prepare the fried breadcrumbs. In a skillet, melt a generous amount of butter over medium heat. You will need enough butter to coat the breadcrumbs well.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir them frequently to ensure they toast evenly and develop a golden-brown color. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Season the breadcrumbs with salt to taste during this process.
- After the breadcrumbs are nicely toasted, remove them from the heat and set them aside.
- To serve, place the cooked sisky on a serving platter or individual plates. Generously sprinkle the fried breadcrumbs over the dumplings, ensuring they are well-coated.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little melted butter over the top of the sisky and breadcrumbs before serving.
- Enjoy your Sisky with Fried Breadcrumbs hot, as a delicious Czech dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish!
Tips
- For the most authentic texture, use fresh sisky or make them from scratch if possible.
- Make sure to toast the breadcrumbs slowly and evenly - patience is key to achieving that perfect golden-brown color.
- Don't skimp on the butter when frying breadcrumbs; it adds incredible flavor and helps achieve a crispy texture.
- If you're short on time, store-bought sisky work perfectly fine.
- Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the maximum crunch of the breadcrumbs and the warmth of the dumplings.
- Experiment with adding herbs like parsley or chives to the breadcrumbs for an extra flavor dimension.
