1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and water. Mix until it forms a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2
Prepare the Filling
For meat filling: In a bowl, mix the ground meat, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. For potato filling: Combine grated potatoes, cottage cheese, and chopped chives in a separate bowl.
3
Form the Dumplings
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center, fold the dough over, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
4
Freeze the Dumplings
Place the dumplings in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag for long-term storage.
