Directions:Pelmeni:
Mix all ingredients together to make a "ground beef ball". set aside.
Dough:
Mix ingredients together and fold until it becomes elastic, and looses stickiness. Roll into ball and cut in half. Set 1 half aside.
To Prepare:
On floured surface, flatten 1/2 ball into a thin sheet of dough. Take 1 tablespoon meat mixture and begin creating "rows", leaving about 1/2 inch between meat mixtures.
On another floured surface, roll out second half of dough ball into flat surface, same size as first. Place dough over meat mixture. Using Cutting knife, or pizza cutter, slice halfway between each meat mixture creating "squares". Alternatively, if you have a small circular cookie cutter you can make circles instead. Shape is chef's choice.
In a sauce pan, bring to boil chicken broth (fill pan about 3/4's full). Pinch down edges on the individual squares (or whatever shape you chose) with fork to seal all the way around. Place 6-8 squares (or whatever shape they are) into boiling Chicken broth and cook for 20 minutes. Place on toweled tray to let drain while next batch is cooking.
To Serve:
Place a small slice of butter on top of each hot Pelmeni and let melt. Place 2-3 in small bowl and drizzle excess chicken broth over into the bowl (much like dumplings in a chicken soup). |
