1. Pour water into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt, sugar and beat in eggs.
2. Stir with a whisk to distribute the eggs and water evenly.
3. Add flour to the dough, which I recommend sifting through a fine sieve. It will be enriched with oxygen and the dough will be softer.
4. Add vinegar slaked soda to the dough.
5. Knead an elastic and soft dough. It should not stick to the hands and walls of the dishes.
6. Divide the dough into several pieces and roll each into a rope about 3 cm thick.
7. Cut the formed sausage into small equal parts.
8. Roll each piece with a rolling pin into a thin round layer 3 mm thick.
9. On each rolled circle, place a convenient round shape with a diameter of 7-9 cm (for example, a glass).
10. Cut out the dough with a sharp knife around the glass, and remove the excess cuts. Then collect them, knead and make dumplings again.
11. Pour some sugar on the round cakes.
12. Put a few berries on top. Wash the cherries first, remove the tails and leave in a sieve to glass the liquid. I left the seeds in the berries, but if you wish, you can remove them first.
13. Fold the cherry round tortilla in half, hold the edges of the dough together tightly and form a dumpling.
14. Pour water into a cooking pot and bring to a boil. Dip the dumplings into boiling water and stir so that they do not stick together and do not stick in the pan.
15. After boiling, cook the dumplings with cherries for 3 minutes. Serve them immediately after cooking. If you wish, you can sprinkle them with sugar, pour over with cherry jam or use them yourself before serving.
