HOW TO MAKE PELMENI


I love Russian food especially "Pelmeni" so I would like to give you a short introduction how to make these delicious little pelmenis.

For the dough you need:
* 3 cups Flour
* 2 eggs
* salt
* water


For the filling you need:
* ground beef
* onion finely chopped
* salt and pepper
* 1 egg

How to make it:
Put everything of the dough together and form it into a ball, then cover with plastic wrap and put it into the fridge to chill for 20-30 mins.
Mix also the ingredients of the filling together in a bowl.

When the dough is ready, roll out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 3 inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or a lid. Put a scant teaspoon of the filling onto each 3 inch shape. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork. Wet both ends of the pelmeni and bring them round and pinch together to the shape of an tortelli.

Then cook it:
Bring 3 1/2 pts of salted water to a boil. Drop in the pelmeni by the dozen. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until they rise to the surface.

You should serve it with heavy sour cream, its also very delicious to mix the sour cream with a ketchup and then plunge the pilmeni in it.

You should try it it is very simple.

Good Luck!
