Dumplings have been known and loved by our compatriots since the 14th century. Their first "consumers" were residents of the north-eastern part of Russia. Most likely, this dish was brought from the Central Asian states by the Ural settlers. No wonder it is believed that the real homeland of dumplings is China. This dish was very fond of and quickly took root with us, because it is not only tasty and satisfying, but you can also prepare it for future use. How to cook dumplings, you will learn right now.

So, for six cups of sifted flour, one and a half cups of warm s alted (one tablespoon of table s alt) water is taken. All this must be mixed with a spatula in a circular motion. The mass should be homogeneous. And now you will need more flour, which will need to be gradually mixed into the dough until it becomes steep enough to make something out of it.

Whenlump is ready, put it on a floured kitchen board or table, and knead it, knead it until it is elastic. Before cooking dumplings, the finished dough needs a little, 15-20 minutes, to stand covered with a clean waffle towel or other cloth. After that, you need to knead it again, adding a little flour. Now it is completely ready.

Melting dumplings takes the most time, so many don't want to go with them

tinker and buy a ready-made semi-finished product in the store. But we all know that homemade dumplings are much tastier because they do not contain any GMOs and other unnecessary additives. Therefore, we take our dough, cut off a piece from it, which we twist into a long sausage about 3-4 cm thick.

The next step on how to make dumplings is to cut this sausage into equal pieces, also about 3-4 cm wide. We roll each of them in flour so that it does not stick, and roll it out with a rolling pin, forming thin circles. Of course, you can make it easier: roll the cut piece of dough into a pancake, from which cut even circles with the neck of a thin glass cup. But here the minus is that not all the dough will be used up, some will remain, and it will have to be kneaded again, and excess flour will simply ruin the dough, making it “wooden”. From this it will be difficult to blind something. Either way, the choice is yours.

Now that the circles are ready, you can start making dumplings. Before you cook dumplings, you need to make a filling for them. For heryou will need any minced meat, about half a kilogram. You can add an onion twisted in a meat grinder, as well as s alt, pepper and a squeezed garlic clove into it. All this is added to taste. Now we are preparing the first dumpling: we take a circle of dough and put a little minced meat in its middle with a teaspoon. We turn the "pancake" in half, and with fingers, previously dipped in flour, tightly pinch the edges. In the same way we sculpt the rest of the dumplings.

The final stage is the cooking of dumplings. Here everything is already simple: take a larger pot, three liters, pour water into it (taking into account the law of Archimedes about the displacement of liquid by a body immersed in it), bring it to a boil, add some s alt and throw dumplings into it. It is not necessary to “overload” the pan too much, the product should float freely enough in it. Cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally so that they do not stick to the bottom. The main indicator that dumplings are ready is when they float to the surface.
