Dumplings on kefir
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I love dumplings with various fillings: with berries and fruits, with potatoes, mushrooms, and meat—but I always make the dumpling dough using the same recipe. In my opinion, this dough makes the dish especially tasty, soft, and tender. Today, I'll tell you how to make dumplings with kefir. As always, the whole process takes no more than half an hour; after that, the dumplings just need to be boiled and served hot for lunch. So, gather flour, kefir, egg, salt, baking soda, and your favorite filling on the table, and let's start making kefir dumplings at home. The ready dish can now be served.
