Is This the Worst Historic Recipe? Raspberry Dumplings From 1828

- Today we have fruit dumplings made using delicious ingredients. But could the cook time make or break this 200 year old recipe? Be sure to watch till the end to see images of the real recipes (or receipts as they used to be called) as they appeared in Modern Domestic Cookery (1828). Just like today, not all recipes are a keeper :( .
200 years later and this recipe is still nearly identical to modern day Czech style boiled fruit dumplings. Though the crust may be different, the filling and boiling method are the same as is serving them with butter & sugar! However, unlike these modern day dumplings which are only usually boiled for no more than 10-20 minutes, this antique recipe calls for them to be boiled for a full hour. Maybe the author was still trying to figure this one out? What do you think? I've translated the original recipe into modern instructions below 😺🐈⬛.
Raspberry Dumplings, 1828
2.3 cups of flour + a couple extra tablespoons for sprinkling
1.5 sticks of butter + 1 tablespoon melted for drizzling once done
Cold water
Raspberry jam
2 tablespoons of sugar
Water, for boiling
Prepare the paste by combining your flour and 1 stick of butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the butter is no bigger than rice among the flour. Add in enough cold water to make it into a dough. Add your water a little at a time. If you have accidentally added too much water add a dash more flour until you get a proper dough that isn't too sticky nor too dry. Roll the dough out as thin as a coin then dot it with small bits of butter, dust with flour, fold over, and roll out again. Do this a total of 3x. You will use up half a stick of butter when doing this. Roll out again thin, as you would when preparing pie crust. Cut into either squares or circles using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Put a small dab of raspberry jam in the center of each, fold up, pinch and roll in your hands till you have formed a ball. Repeat for all of them till you've used up all of your dough. Simmer for 1 hour (or...20 minutes if you too disagree with the original recipe. If you try this please let me know how it turned out!). Drizzle melted butter onto a plate. Lay down your cooked dumplings and sprinkle sugar on top.
Outstanding
This is like Polish fruit filled Pierogies. ( I like the potato/ onion ones best)🌹
I can’t seem to get the hat back to my name sigh
After 20 min I’m sure these dumplings are delicious. Thank you.
I was just about to comment that the whole process including the final result are identical to fruit dumplings in Czech, where I'm from. However, we typically use fresh fruits!
It is only me who really wants a tour of the cabin and surroundings???
There sits Mish Mish patiently waiting for the butter to be unattended for just a few minutes 😂
He is OBSESSED with butter! He'd kill for it.
@@EarlyAmerican it helps them pass hair balls so it’s all good
@jhamilton8398
I've also heard coconut oil refined is good for then, too. But I love that you noticed exactly what I did too, friend 😁👍

Our dog, Ajax, would just sit there and drool until I gave him some. 🙄☺️
To keep a cat coming back home put butter on their paws. This is well known.
I would love to see bloopers of the channel😂❤❤❤
Yes please! That would be awesome!
I never comment. But I really appreciate how transparent you were on this recipe, how not all of your cooking videos shows amazing and the best turned out food fare (you showed we have evolved some in 2 hundred years of food sciences). My British partner is older, loves old recipe cooking, but it is reality it doesn't always turn out! Very much appreciated you today being authentic and we can totally relate, and smiled with that part :)
😊😊
Me: Puff pastry wrapped around some raspberry jam? This'll be a nice fried pastry dessert!
Recipe: Boil for an hour.
Me: ..... What.... what did I do to deserve this?
It was boiled into oblivion 😭RIP say a prayer
@@EarlyAmericanThis was when they discovered frying was so much better & quicker 😂
🤣
@@Dollgrl1
That was what I thought Justine would do.
Not boil!😳
😊😊
My first instinct was to bake or fry them. Boiling would never have crossed my mind, but if I do make it, I will not boil them more than 20 minutes. Good Job Lady!!
I think they would have been delicious BAKED instead of boiled.
Dumplings are boiled.
@@tanyamckinnon5376 I know but dumplings are not made with puff pastry either.
Was thinking the same thing
😍😊
Dumpling don’t have so much butter 😂
I definitely agree that an hour would be far too long to cook these dumplings. I'll bet this dumpling recipe would be great fried though!
That's just what I was thinking!
Yep...I was really hoping these would be fried. When they got boiled this was my insides: 😩😩😩
😂
😊😊
My mother used to make plum dumplings, using a whole plum in each.
Gosh I love your sweet kitty. ❤
We make an old old recipe here in my part of Canada called Blueberry Grunt. Its made with baking powder dumplings baked with fresh blueberries, sugar and cinnamon . Served hot with vanilla icecream. It got its name because its so good you grunt when you eat it!
I was wondering about the grunt part, I thought it would be an after effect. Soory!
I heard it got the name because of the sound the berries make when they're cooking but you're version isn't wrong.
Yeeeesss blueberry grunt is the BEST
Sounds yummy!
😊😊
This one made me giggle quite a bit. I love that even when the recipe isn't what you would have liked you don't throw it to the wayside. It adds a bit of whimsy and fun to the channel and shows your genuine love for just the experience rather than purely aesthetic content, so rare these days!
It is a fun experiment! You throw a bunch of ingredients into a bowl and pooof you get some magic. I try to make them 100% even if I don't think that I'll care for it but that's how you get the dish as it would have been all those years ago.
My grandma made fruit pierogis along with savory. Hers were only boiled a few minutes till they floated then fried.
I like how you keep to the recipe even if you suspect it might not turn out great.
Happy time when I see your notification.
Thank you for being here ❤
Your facial expression was priceless. I agree 20 minutes is enough. I personally would have fried them in lard. Yummy❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video as usual ! Mish Mish’s input is absolutely necessary and important 😁❤️
They started so good. I hate they went slimy. Thank you for always bringing us some joy, Justine! xoxo
I wonder if they would have been good baked? Like a filled cookie.
@@peggyeldridge4827 Yes! Sounds good to me! 🥰
I bet flour was a different consistency and may have effected the puff pastry?? The pie version would require more berries. Thank you ❤😊❤. No failures happen in your kitchen because we love watching you. ❤❤
That's exactly what I was thinking, also. Not only the flour, but all the ingredients were a tad different back in the day. But yeah, especially the flour makes the difference and that is the most plausible explanation for the increased boiling time. As you, Justine, noticed, some recipes that you tried called for a different amount of modern flour to use than the olden type of flour. And because of that, it might be possible that the olden flour needs more time to boil or cook, in general.
To my knowledge, white flour wasn't common until the 1880's when the roller mill was invented,otherwise you had to sift the bran out yourself to get it, mostly royalty food at that point.
I've had dumplings before, never raspberry. How cool. Thank you.
Greetings from Montana, Justine 👋😊 your face said it all 😂😂 The idea of a raspberry dumpling sounded delicious, but, I was surprised when they were to be boiled. I would definitely try this recipe only instead of boiling I would be deep frying. Hope you are having a blessed week! ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
Hi, neighbor.....I was thinking the same thing. Fry them until golden brown ..yum😋
I love the sheer variety of dishes you can prepare so well with just a few basic appliances and tools. Truly shows that a lot of the time, you don’t need these modern fancy gadgets to make delicious food!!
P.S. I wish there was a way to share food through the screen😂
But maybe not this time... 😂
I love how she does so much with very little equipment too. She always has me second guessing myself with all my modern appliances & gadgets. Here she's making these amazing dishes with just simple tools. I'm obsessed. Love that you feel that way too friend😁👍
☺️ I didn't think about making Raspberry Dumplings! Oh my goodness ! Mmmm...
That's how I like to make dumplings...❤
Justine, you look so cute when you're peaking back at the cat while prepping your dumplings! Impossible to resist a kitty pet or two!
I begun watching this channel's videos 10 days ago and watched single video every day, u can't imagine how i have fun😊❤
Love it! A little cat hair on that dough never hurt anyone. Don't get me wrong as I grew up on a Norman Rockwell farm and the sanitary conditions when cooking wasn't to today's standards, but the food was organic, and we were healthy.
Cat hair is a seasoning.😂
I always wash my hands before I start to handle food too and I definitely would not have pet the cat till after I was finished touching food. After that the cat would get lots of attention.
@@sjrpfrand I certainly would not allow that cat on the counters
Absolutely
I really like the fact that even though you went by the recipe, and it didn't come out the way you thought it would, you still went through it and finished it. you didn't cut anything out, and gave your own opinion on it. Mish Mish was great in the end! He was like what on earth are you doing you silly human, why are you petting the tree when you should be petting me!?
About to go on a binge watching marathon, we have been away for a month and have really missed y'all! My absolutely beautiful childhood friend of 39 years passed away, took us down for a bit. John and I are back, we just needed some time to process everything. Hope you and Ron are doing good!!! ❤
I just started watching your channel last night and now I'm getting addicted with your cooking stuff! Keep up the great work! 👍🔥
Just today I was longing for a video pair from you two, how delighted I was to find them here today!
I love your Videos, so much relaxing ever 🤗
My Mom made THE best blackberry dumplings. These are definitely made different. I would love to try them. I am amazed at the wonderful and delicious looking foods you make. You have cooking on the hearth fire down to a science.
😊😊
When I hear "dumpling" I always think of chicken or pot stickers and savory. This is intriguing!
The rooster in the background makes it seem even more authentic. 🐓
I honestly felt Justine and I staring at each other. Neither of us wanting to be the one to taste over boiled dumplings. 😂
I was thinking why do they look like boiled eyeballs 😢this ain't right!
@@EarlyAmerican I agree with you. It isn't right at all! I agree that HAD to have been an experimental recipe. Hope you don't get indigestion from it.
I fancy steamed dumplings like dim sum but boiled dumplings 😳
@@EarlyAmerican I agree with Ron, it was just to pad the cookbook! It be interesting to research how many receipts were included as jokes to see if anybody would actually make them.
Loved the look of doubt on your face before tasting them -
I think baking or even frying in a skittle might work better than boiling but I agree boiling for 20 minutes or so might work better. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
I agree.....try frying or baking...
fry em in pig fat
I really think everything is done perfectly, right up to the cooking instructions. This is the part I love, figuring out the historical cooking from poorly written cooking instructions. I’m going to work on this…
Mistakes are proof we are learning! I love this recipe video. ❤
Your expression when something isn't,shall we say up to you usual standards, is priceless! 😂. I will note your new P O box as i worked on some handmade cards and have a special one for you. I will make sure to send you a book of stamps in case you want to reply. Mish Mish is a joy. Loved Rons expression when he ate these. He is hilarious ❤
Perfection!! 😋
I love that cat!! I can so relate!! 😄
If Mish Mish can get up on the roof then he can get down just as easily. He is looking at you "What is your problem, yes I am on the roof!"
I love, love, love any kind of dumplings!!!!!! This is going to be so good. YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
Justin and Ron you both sure do inspire me to some ingredients in my meals thank you both so very much 💕💕
Oh my goodness 😝 it seems to me they would’ve been delicious, deep fried or baked!
Спасибо за возможность заглянуть в далёкое прошлое 💐💕
My 3 yr old adores watching these videos with me and calls them "cooking princess video"❤.
yeah, we excatly do that here in Czech Republic, but the dumplings are filled with a half of a plum or a strawberries. Also blueberries or apricots are great option. And when you should serve these with melted butter, grated hard cottage cheese and sprinkled with sugar.
I really appreciate how transparent you were on this recipe, how not all of your cooking videos shows amazing and the best turned out food
After hearing a number of times how awesome mushroom catsup it, it would be awesome to watch you make it. But sweets are nice too, as are the feasts :)
A comment to boost the CZcams algorithm!
Thank you!
Ah yes! It appears you have one of those mysterious roof cats. They like to sit in high places and you never see how they get up there. When removed from their perch, they almost instantly return....screaming for aid. Truly a very intriguing and infuriating creature.
I've experiences quite a few of them.
I love raspberries and would definitely make this dish but only boil for 20 minutes!
I guess our tastes are different than those who actually lived in 1828😃💕💕
Yes, and then fry in a little butter.
I bet those would taste good deep fried. Anyway, I'm curious, where did you get the wood mixing bowl because I want one.
Justine where do you get the wood bowl you make your pie dough from I want one so much
Love watching you glad I found your channel
Mish Mish is so funny
We have a similar recipie in Appalachia for blackberry dumplins. It's amazing.
I think baking or frying these would be delicious. Gonna try it with different jams and fruit.
Here in North Carolina, raspberries aren't as plentiful as blueberries, or blackberries, so I use those to make fruit dumplings. When my husband and I did reenacting, I would feed our unit recipes like this.
I follow this channel 2 years ago, rarely comment but I like these videos. I never think that we can use Rasberry for Dumplings, this recipe is different in my country
Truly impressive. I often think I should have been born in a simpler time like that.
Dying at the cat on the roof! 🤣🤣🤣 Interesting recipe--I bet these would taste awesome fried or baked
I love this channel. It refreshing after a long day.
She’s beautiful and fascinating to watch cook. Always looks delicious!
Ron and Justine.. just wondering if you all were still going to video the progress of ur home you all are building.. just wondering 😊
Oh yes for sure! I've been filming every bit. The next video that'll come out is framing and I'm waiting for the framing to be done to put that video out. Framing is harder than expected. That's the whole core of the house including the roof. We hope to have the roof up within 1 month's time or less! This Saturday we are having the 2nd floor wall raising party. I'm trying to keep people updated on our Early American Facebook page.
I enjoy researching and learning to cook old fashion ways. If I ever get stuck some where remote I won't have an issue.
Boiling them for an hour did seem too long. I bet you could use strawberry jam just as well. Maybe baked or fried would be a better choice. Love your honest comment about the recipe. ❤
Cooking Raspberry Dumplings in 1828 |Real Historic Recipes| Cabin ASMR Fire Cooking...extraordinary, best video.. very useful and useful.. thank you for sharing this video... God Bless You.. Greetings from your friends, traditional Indonesian gold seekers 🇮🇩🌺🌼💎⚒⛏👍👍👍
My husband’s Czech Grandmother would make fruit dumplings when the prune plums were ripe but she used fresh fruit not jam.
I love watching Mish Mish and his antics 😊
I watch this channel when im stressed out. This helps
Mish Mish is as gorgeous as he is bad! That receipt was a total fail! You were brave to even touch to your lips let alone eat it!❤️🇨🇦
Yeah, boiled dough Is definitely an acquired taste, LOL. Plus, I agree, I can't even imagine how they lasted to through that whole hour of cooking! At least you tried!❤
I thought you were so cute and sweet but I thought they would have been so much better either fried or baked, actually I have never heard of boiling pastry before!! Boiled chicken and dumplings are very good with the right ingredients, of course!!😅
1:00 Mish Mash licking his chops asking "Whats fcr dinner", 7:36 Justine "Where is Ron when I need him?" lmao
Justine, I love your recipes from the American past. You are so calm when making such arduous recipes. They absolutely turn out delicious 😋 looking and tasting! Keep up your fantastic videos!
I've made these with fresh berries (or frozen, thawed, and drained) and a touch of sugar but never boiled them as long as that. This was an interesting watch. Thanks.
I LOVE Mish Mish's MEOW whie starting the puff pastry! Make a batch and boil for an hour, perhaps there is a reason for an hour boil? Won't know until you do the recipe as written.
First time viewer here. Iove the historic feature/ setting, however I think that the dumplings would be better browned. Thank you for this bit of nostalgic pleasantry.
I loved watching your video. =) The kitty is so pretty! I love how you followed the recipe, even when it seemed wrong. 😅
One thing that confused me about the dumplings is that, when I make dumplings (in soup), the recipe usually says to cover the pot and simmer. This recipe was uncovered and boiling? Just wondering if that would have made a difference. 🤷♀
You have some beautiful dishes. I love that jug particularly. Yes, I thought an hour seemed like far too long. How strange! 🤔
I thought they were going to get fried, and they rolled in sugar like a donut
I don't comment a lot, but that cat makes my heart smile ❤️
Gracias 😮por tan hermosos videos que comparten , me hacen recordar mucho a mi abuela materna y a mi bisabuela materna usaba esa vastimenta 😮😊
Yum yum yum!!!!! Looks good guys.❤
For some reason I got unsubscribed to you and I haven’t watched your videos in like a year now I’m glad I found you because I really love your videos
Mish-Mish wanted some butter. When he didn't get any, he went on the roof to taunt Justine!
Your place is so cozy! Love it! Now I’m hungry!
Gracias por tan valioso contenido...ME ENCANTA!!🎉
So nicely presented, thank you
I don't really know anything about dumplings (hated them since childhood), and I was way on board with buttery puff pastry and raspberry jam. At 4:47 I started singing the "Please Don't Boil Them" song and was immediately crying. 😂
Needless to say, I've learned THE main thing about dumplings...always made with wet, wet heat...which is the reason I've never liked them. 😆
Edit: Google informed me dumplings can be made by frying in a pan. Dumplings are not completely dead to me! \o/ (No idea how historical pan fried dumplings are tho).
The little Cat MIsh Mish looks so much like the little stray the Tenants & I cared for on the Rental Property I managed... Her name was Flea-Bag... I bet those Dumplings would have been amazing Fried, and sprinkled with some cinnamon sugar, or dipped in Honey-Butter. ...
Hahahahahaha Mish Mish was like "I'm the queen of this house. I'll do what I want" 😂😂😂
Beautiful new dress. The colour's perfect 4 Justine.
I have spent 3 hours of my life watching these videos lol. It so calming
I wonder if they would be better baked? Seems odd to boil puff pastry. But then again, alot of things were odd back then 😅 Once again Mish Mish stole the show 🤘🤩🤘
Hello, thank you for the video! I'm surprised these were boiled, I would have thought frying them would have been better. But they were called dumplings so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised. I'm sorry that they didn't turn out right.
Amazing
Mish mish being the star of the show😆
Another great job by Justine. But why not bake that beautifully made puff pastry instead of boiling them. Please keep your great videos coming.
Love Mish Mish. What a beautiful cat!
Mish mish is so funny getting on the roof all the time. I also keep wondering how the recipe turned out for the people who made it back then having to cook it for an hour.
OMG! Those dumplings are so good!
Every since You first pancakes with butter. I love them that way now. I do get ideas from watching you
Seeing you try to get Mish Mish off the roof made me laugh. lol I'm not a chef by any means but I think an hour would be way too long to boil them. Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess. Keep up the awesome content and stay awesome.
