- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (281 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: beef, dairy, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 80 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 30 g Water
- 1 g Salt
- 60 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 40 g Pork, ground, raw
- 25 g Onions, raw
- 0.3 g Black pepper
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Sour cream
Method
- Mix the flour with the egg, water and half the salt into a firm dough; knead for 8 minutes until smooth, then cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- Mix the beef and pork with the finely chopped onion, remaining salt and the pepper until well combined.
- Roll the dough thin and cut into rounds about 7 cm across; place a small spoonful of filling in the centre of each.
- Fold each round in half over the filling, pinch the edges to seal tightly, then bring the two corners together and pinch to form the traditional ear shape.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, drop in the pelmeni, and cook for 7-8 minutes until they float and the meat is cooked through (74 C/165 F), stirring gently so they don't stick.
- Drain and serve hot, topped with the butter and sour cream.
