Pelmeny

Ingredients

DOUGH

2 cup flour (approx)
2 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water

FILLING

1 1/2 lb beef, ground
2 onions, finely chopped
1 salt, to taste
1 pepper, to taste
1 water

SERVE WITH
1 sour cream
1 soy sauce
1 vinegar

Directions

: For the dough, mix flour, eggs, salt and water into a firm paste and let stand 1 hour. Roll dough out very thin and cut into 2 1/2" circles.

: For the filling, mix meat, onion, salt and pepper together and add enough water to make the filling juicy.

: Smooth a little cold water half way around the edge of each circle, and put a small mound of filling in the middle. Fold over and seal the edges firmly together. Traditionalists then bring the corners together and crimp them together to form a ball.

: Carefully lower the pelmeny into boiling water, optionally flavoured with a couple of chicken bouillon cubes, and cook for 15 minutes.

: Serve with soy sauce, sour cream and/or vinegar.
