Universal dumpling dough
Description
This dough is ideal for making both dumplings and vareniki, despite containing no eggs. To make it more elastic, add a little vegetable oil to the flour along with very hot water—this will make the dough easier to knead and more uniform. Also, don't forget to let it rest for a while. The dough is much easier to work with after resting at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
