Homemade classic dumplings

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make classic dumplings? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take ready-made minced pork and beef, but it's best to make it yourself. Peel the onion from the husk, wash and dry.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a deep bowl, transfer the minced pork and ground beef.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the peeled onion and scroll in a meat grinder with a fine grate. You can take any bow at your discretion. But the more onions, the finished minced meat will be juicier and softer. But it all depends on your taste.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add salt, pepper and mix well. For me, there is no better black ground pepper than usual, but you can also take white or green ground pepper. Cover the bowl with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the meat ripen.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the meat is in the refrigerator, make the dough. To do this, pour room temperature water into a deep bowl so that your hands are comfortable. Break a raw egg into a bowl, add butter, salt and mix everything until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Sift most of the flour into a bowl with the eggs and start kneading the dough, slowly adding flour. Focus on the consistency of the dough, not the volume of flour.

7. Step 7:

   

   The dough should be elastic, tender, not stick to your hands. Collect the finished dough in a lump and cover with a towel or a film. Leave it on the kitchen table for 20 minutes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the table and put the dough on it. Divide the dough into parts, roll a thick bundle from each. Then cut them into small pieces - according to the number of dumplings. While you are messing with one part of the dough, cover the rest with a towel so that it does not dry out.

10. Step 9:

    

    Roll out the sliced pieces of dough into thin tortillas. It is desirable that they are the same and, if possible, round.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put minced meat on each rolled flatbread with a spoon.

12. Step 11:

    

    Connect the opposite edges of the tortilla and tightly blind them. It will turn out like these dumplings.

13. Step 12:

    

    Then connect the opposite ends of each dumpling and press firmly. We get these round dumplings. If you have made a lot of them, then sprinkle the flat surface with flour and put the dumplings in one layer and not closely. Sprinkle with flour again and send them to the freezer for freezing. After that, put them in bags and put them back in the freezer.

14. Step 13:

    

    If you do not like or do not want to sculpt dumplings by hand, use the form for making dumplings. And even though they will lose their individuality, they will remain the same delicious.

15. Step 14:

    

    When the family wants a dumpling, put a pot of water on the stove, bring the water to a boil, add salt. Put the dumplings in boiling water one at a time. Stir gently and cook over medium heat until tender.
