1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add eggs and water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2
Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3
Roll Out the Dough
Divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one quarter on a floured surface until thin (about 1/8 inch). Use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.
4
Fill the Dumplings
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.
5
Cook the Pelmeni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pelmeni in batches into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface (about 5-7 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
6
Serve
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
