Satisfying Beef and Pork Pelmeni: A Russian Dumplings Delight

Ingredients

• 2 and two-thirds cups of versatile all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• A quartet of eggs
• A third of a cup of water
• A pound of ground pork
• An equal amount of ground beef
• Half a cup of water
• Finely chopped onion, half a unit
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Step 1

Mix the flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl till well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2/3 cup of water, then pour it into the flour mixture and stir until the dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 6 minutes until smooth. Store the dough in a plastic bag for later use.

Step 2

For the filling, combine pork, beef, water, and onions in a bowl, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Take out the dough and roll it into long snakes approximately 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide pieces and flatten them into 2-inch circles using a rolling pin.

Step 4

Place a spoonful of the filling onto each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges shut. Pinch the two ends together behind the flat edge to create a unique shape. Arrange the pelmeni on a floured baking sheet.

Step 5

Boil a saucepan of salted water, then add around 15 pelmeni at a time. Cook until they float to the surface, usually taking about 5 to 7 minutes.
