Instructions
Step 1
Start by cracking *one large egg* into a mixing bowl. Add a *pinch of salt* to enhance the flavor. Using a whisk or fork, *beat the egg until well combined* with the salt.
Step 2
Next, pour in *180 milliliters (3/4 cup) of room temperature water*. This will help to create a smooth and pliable dough. Mix the ingredients together until *fully integrated*.
Step 3
Gradually *add approximately 240 grams (2 cups) of all-purpose flour* into the mixture. *Stir continuously* until all the flour is combined and a dough begins to form. You may need to use your hands as the dough thickens.
Step 4
Once the ingredients are combined, turn the dough out onto a *floured surface*. Begin to *knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes* until it becomes *elastic and smooth*. This process helps to develop gluten, which gives the pasta its structure.
Step 5
After kneading, form the dough into a ball and *wrap it in plastic wrap*. Allow it to rest for *30 minutes at room temperature*. This resting period relaxes the gluten, making it easier to roll out later.
Step 6
After resting, place the dough back on the *floured surface*. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to your desired thickness, *about 1-2 millimeters*. Then, use a knife or dough cutter to *cut the dough into your desired shapes* for dumplings or pierogi.
Step 7
While you can set the rolled-out dough aside, prepare the filling by mixing your choice of *ground meat, chopped onion, salt, and pepper* in a bowl. Make sure the filling is well-seasoned to complement the dough.
Step 8
Create dumplings by placing a small amount of filling on each dough shape and folding it over. * pinch the edges securely* to prevent any filling from escaping. If desired, you can freeze the dumplings for *later use*. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer until solid.
Step 9
To cook the dumplings, bring a pot of *salted water to boil*. Carefully add the dumplings and *cook for 7-10 minutes* or until they float and are cooked through. Once done, strain them and serve warm.
Step 10
Serve your dumplings with your choice of dipping sauces or toppings. *Enjoy your homemade goodness*! Bon Appétit!

Variations
Faq
- What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels sticky, don’t worry! Just add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth and elastic consistency.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can make the dough ahead of time. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- How can I tell when my dumplings are done cooking?
You'll know your dumplings are cooked when they float to the surface! Let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes after they rise.
- Can I freeze uncooked dumplings?
Yes! Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze them first, then transfer to a freezer bag for long-term storage.
- What type of filling works best?
The options are endless! From savory combinations like pork and cabbage to vegetarian delights like spinach and cheese, choose your favorite or mix and match!
- Can I bake the dumplings instead of boiling them?
Yes, you can! Brush them with a bit of oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes for a crispy twist!
