One of the classics of traditional Czech cuisine are these sweet, succulent plum dumplings known as švestkové knedlíky. They are prepared with leavened, potato, or fresh cheese dough that is wrapped around whole pitted plums.

When cooked, the result is a soft, juicy treat that is usually enjoyed as a dessert or a sweet main course, usually complemented with melted butter, cinnamon sugar, poppy seeds, or grated tvaroh cheese.
