Pelmeni - Russian mini meat pies
INGREDIENTS

5 eggs
2 teaspoons salt (for stuffing and dough)
Pepper to taste
1 kg meat (500g pork and 500g beef)
500g onions
- Take 3 glasses of flour and sift it into a deep bowl.
- Put the eggs into a cup and add some salt.
- Fill the rest of the cup with water and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with flour.
- Mix everything thoroughly as the dough should be homogeneous. Leave it for 15 minutes.
- Put the dough on the table, add some more flour (if necessary), then knead it for at least 7-10 minutes. Then wrap it in a plastic bag and put into the fridge.
- Rinse beef and pork. Dry and mince the meat. You can use minced meat.
- Peel onions, mince them or chop in a blender. Then add onions to the meat seasoning with some salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- When stuffing is ready, you can start making pelmeni. Roll the dough into a sausage shape and cut it into pieces.
- Dust the worktop with some flour and roll each piece into a thin flat cake.
- Put one teaspoon of stuffing into the centre.Pinch edges firmly. Bring the corners together. Just look at that! Place the pelmeni on a flour-dusted surface.
- Cook pelmeni in boiling water adding some salt and bay leaves to taste.
- Enjoy!
