Ingredients:
For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup water, or as needed

For the Filling:

• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving:

• Sour cream, for serving
• Melted butter, for serving
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs.
   • Gradually incorporate the eggs into the flour, adding water as needed, until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Make the Filling:
   • In another mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Assemble the Pelmeni:
   • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut out circles of dough.
   • Place a small spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal.
4. Cook the Pelmeni:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pelmeni dumplings into the boiling water in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the cooked pelmeni dumplings from the pot with a slotted spoon and drain well.
   • Serve the Russian-inspired pelmeni dumplings hot, with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of melted butter, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
6. Enjoy:
   • Enjoy the tender and flavorful pelmeni dumplings, a fusion of hearty dough and savory beef filling that will transport you to the cozy kitchens of Russia with every bite! Приятного аппетита! (Priyatnogo appetita! - Enjoy your meal!)
