Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup water, or as needed
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sour cream, for serving
- Melted butter, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- 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.
- Make the Filling:
- In another mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
