Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Ground beef
• 8 ounces Ground pork
• 1 medium, finely grated Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for serving) Butter
• 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the egg into it. Gradually pour in the water while mixing with a fork until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, grated onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to create the filling.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll one portion out into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick, keeping the remaining dough covered to prevent drying out.

Step 6

Use a 2-inch round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles from the rolled dough.

Step 7

Place 1 teaspoon of the meat filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges tightly to seal, then bring the two ends together and pinch to form a classic pelmeni shape.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, rolling out additional portions of dough as needed.

Step 9

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pelmeni into the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir gently to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pelmeni float to the surface and the dough is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 11

Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, a pat of butter, and a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
