Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, softened butter, eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until a crumbly texture forms.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be smooth and slightly sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add the ground meat, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Stir in the chopped fresh dill and mix well. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into circles, approximately 4 inches in diameter.

  2. 6

    Fill the Dough

    Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

  3. 7

    Cook the Chopin

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the filled dumplings and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve with Topping

    Serve the dumplings hot with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped chives.
