- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 eggs - 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt,2-3 bay leaves
- 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Instructions:
Sift the flour into a large pile on a clean surface and place the eggs in the center. Make the dough by adding warm water gradually, knead it. Cover it and let stand for 15-20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, the onion, and pepper, and ½ tsp salt together.
Working on a flour-dusted surface, roll the dough into a long roll, about an inch in diameter, cut the roll into pieces, inch and a half length. Form circles using rolling pin. Place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center and fold the dough over, pinching it to completely seal the pelmeni into a small packet and turn the corners to face each other, making a small circle.
Boil a generous amount of water with 1tsp. salt and 2-3 bay leaves. Keep all the pelmeni completely submerged. Drop the pelmeni into the boiling water. Boil for 12 minutes.
Arrange with sour cream, or make a tomato sauce with fresh garlic and basil.

I am glad I finally found a good recipe for pelmeni. I always loved eating them, but did not know how to make them.
Making the dough might be a little bit tricky the first time. Also, sealing each one of the pelmeni, but in the end it's all worth it.
