Instructions

  1. Pelmeni Dough Sift the flour with salt into a mixing bowl. Add eggs, mix the dough for a short bit, then add water to the dough. Combine everything into a smooth texture by hand or using a Kitchen Aid mixer. Flour the working surface.

Pelmeni Filling Combine together ground meat, grated onion, salt and pepper.

  1. To Assemble Pelmeni To make Pelmeni by hand, roll out the dough and cut out small circles using a cookie cutter. Place meat in the middle and fold over the sides into a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together. Connect the two corners together.

  2. To Boil Pelmeni Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add Pelmeni. You’ll know they’re ready once you see them float to the top. Take Pelmeni out using a strainer. Drizzle them with butter and serve with a side of sour cream.
