Recently, my subscriber Nadezhda told how dumplings were prepared in their family. I liked the idea. And I tried it too.
I took my favorite dough - custard. How I prepare it, I have already told many times. I will not repeat myself. I will attach a video at the end of the article.
But, of course, you can cook such dumplings from any dough!
Boiling water dough recipe:
• Flour - 3 glasses
• Boiling water - 1 glass (not full!)
• Egg - 1 pc.
• Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp.
• Salt - 0.5 tsp.
*** My glass is 250 ml
It's all about the stuffing here! I will add sauerkraut to the minced meat. I squeezed the cabbage out of the juice a little. You can grind cabbage together with meat in a meat grinder. But I chopped it with a knife (chopped very finely). This can be clearly seen in the video at the end of the article.
I always take minced meat for dumplings mixed (I cook it from at least two types of meat). Today I have beef and turkey. I add onion (I grated it on a fine grater to make onion puree), chopped cabbage and black pepper. I also add salt to taste (but here, of course, you need to take into account the salt that is in the cabbage, and salt it carefully).
Minced meat recipe:
• Minced meat (beef + turkey) - 600 g
• Sauerkraut - 200 g
• Onions - 1-2 pcs.
• Ground black pepper
• Salt
I stir the minced meat and beat it off a little. Then I cut the dough into pieces, roll out each piece, spread the filling in the middle and sculpt dumplings.
I make dumplings as usual. In total, from the specified amount of ingredients, approximately 100 medium-sized dumplings are obtained. But, of course, if the dumplings are smaller, it will be even tastier!
I add salt, a few black peppercorns and a bay leaf to the boiled water. I put dumplings in a saucepan, bring to a boil and from the moment of boiling, cook for 5-6 minutes.
Serve, of course, better with sour cream (you can sprinkle with dill). The filling is very juicy and tasty. In my opinion, even tastier than pure meat. I really liked it))
I compare three recipes for dumplings dough:
And here are three ways to make dumplings even tastier:
