Instructions
- 1
Make the dough by combining flour and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in center and add egg, warm water, and oil. Mix until dough forms, then knead on floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 2
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 3
For filling, combine ground beef, ground pork, minced onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and cold water. Mix thoroughly until well combined and slightly sticky.
- 4
Roll dough on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch circles using a round cutter or glass.
- 5
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in center of each circle. Fold dough over to create half-moon shape, pinching edges firmly to seal.
- 6
Bring the two corners of the half-moon together and pinch to form the classic pelmeni shape.
- 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pelmeni in batches, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
- 8
Cook for 8-10 minutes until pelmeni float to surface and dough is tender.
