Homemade dumplings
Description
I'm offering the simplest homemade dumpling recipe in the world. I think every Russian household definitely has the same kind of mold as I do. If you don't have one, your grandmother surely does :) By the way, this homemade dumpling recipe yields exactly 169 pieces. Pretty cool, isn't it? Homemade dumplings with butter and sour cream, sprinkled with freshly ground pepper... What could be better?

Step 2
Then we knead the dough. To do this, break two eggs into a deep bowl, add a pinch of salt, and pour in water or milk. Mix well, then gradually add flour while stirring with a spatula. Then knead the dough by hand.

Step 5
Take a portion of the dough and roll it out into a round pancake. The dough should be thin enough, but by no means perforated. Place the dough pancake into the mold.

Step 6
Place the meat portions into the holes in the mold. There should not be too much meat (but too little is also bad). It is important that the meat does not get onto the edges where the dough will be sealed together. Then cover the meat with another dough pancake.

Step 7
Then take a rolling pin and carefully roll it over the top dough. Keep rolling until the shape becomes visible. Collect the leftover dough from the edges and roll it out into pancakes.

Step 8
Turn the mold upside down and shake it. Some dumplings will fall out on their own, others will need a little help with your finger. Place the dumplings on a plate. Freeze some, and cook the rest immediately.
