Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 g mushrooms (preferably chanterelles, but you can use other types of forest mushrooms)
- 300 ml cooking cream (with a fat content of 20% or more for a creamier sauce)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 50 g butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 200 g flour
- 1 egg
- 100 ml water
- A pinch of salt for the dumplings

Instructions:

1. Preparing the mushrooms: Start by thoroughly cleaning the mushrooms to remove any impurities. If using chanterelles, make sure to remove the tougher parts from the base of the stem. Cut the mushrooms into smaller pieces if they are large.

2. Sautéing the mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Then, add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their water and become golden. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. Preparing the sauce: Once the mushrooms are cooked, pour the sour cream over them and mix well. Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

4. Preparing the dumplings: In a bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the egg and water, mixing until you achieve a smooth but slightly sticky dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

5. Boiling the dumplings: Add water to a large pot and bring it to a boil. Using a spoon, form dumplings from the dough and carefully add them to the boiling water. Boil for 3-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.

6. Finishing the dish: When the dumplings are ready, remove them with a slotted spoon and add them to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Gently mix everything to coat the dumplings with the sauce.

7. Serving: This dish is delicious served warm, sprinkled with a little chopped fresh parsley for added freshness. You can also add some chili flakes for a spicier kick.

Practical tips:
- If you want to experiment, you can add some herbs like thyme or dill to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Instead of flour dumplings, you can opt for potato dumplings or even pasta for a quicker version.
- Make sure to use high-quality sour cream for a creamy and flavorful sauce.
