Dough Preparation

Start by mixing approximately 100 grams of flour with 50 mL of water and a gram of salt to form the dough. Knead until smooth and let it rest.

Filling Preparation

For the filling, you have options. Use around 50 grams of ground meat, 30 grams of cheese, or 70 grams of mashed potatoes as the base. Add approximately 10 grams of finely chopped onions, salt, pepper, and any other desired spices such as garlic or parsley.

Assembling Vareniki

Roll out the rested dough thinly and cut into rounds. Place a small amount of your chosen filling onto each round, fold the dough over, sealing the edges to form a half-moon shape.

Cooking

You can either boil or fry the vareniki until they're cooked through. Boiling is traditionally more common, but frying offers a crispy alternative.
