Cooking Time: 10 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour

Dough Preparation

Mix flour, salt, and egg together in a large bowl. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

Combine ground meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

Assembling Pelmeni

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.

Cooking Pelmeni

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pelmeni in batches, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes. Drain.

Serving

Serve hot with a sprinkle of black pepper and a drizzle of melted butter. Optionally, add sour cream or your favorite herbs for extra flavor.
