Step 5
Mix well. Then, if necessary, gradually add the remaining flour and starch. The amount may vary. The finished dough should be soft and slightly sticky to the hands. Do not overwork the dough with flour— the less flour used, the more tender the dumplings will be. It's better to generously dust the work surface with flour or starch when shaping the dumplings.
