Ingredients

  • 5.6 oz (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1.8 oz (50 g) beaten egg
  • 1.9 US fl oz (55 ml) water for dough
  • 5.3 oz (150 g) ground beef, 90% lean
  • 5.3 oz (150 g) ground pork
  • 2.5 oz (70 g) onion, finely grated
  • 0.7 US fl oz (20 ml) water for filling
  • 2.1 oz (60 g) sour cream
  • 0.3 oz (8 g) dill, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper

Method

  1. Mix flour, egg, dough water and half the salt. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 20 minutes; this rest is additional to the listed active preparation time.
  2. Mix beef, pork, onion, filling water, remaining salt and pepper. Roll dough to about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm), cut 2 1/2-inch (6 cm) circles and make about 28 dumplings, rerolling scraps.
  3. Place a teaspoon of filling on each circle. Fold in half, seal the edge thoroughly and join the corners. Keep covered while working.
  4. Boil in two batches in a large pot of water for about 8–10 minutes, including 4–5 minutes after floating. Check a center dumpling reaches 160°F (71°C); cook longer if needed. Drain and serve with sour cream and dill.

Cook’s note: Yield depends on dough thickness. Floating alone does not confirm that raw filling is safely cooked. Boiling water is not included in ingredient-based nutrition.
