Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make dumplings beautifully with a braid? Prepare the dough and mashed potatoes to your liking using your favorite recipes. Sift flour to dust the table. It is most convenient to make beautiful dumplings when the dough for them is rolled out quite thinly, and the juicy circles are cut out with a mold (or skillfully rolled out with a rolling pin). A small rolling pin about 1.5-2 cm in diameter is convenient here.

Step 2

Step 2
In order for dumplings made in a simple way to turn out beautiful, try to make the inside of them not sprinkled with flour. That is, where you will mold them, they should be without flour. Mold with moderate force, pressing the edges evenly together, do not flatten the edge too much and do not pull the dumpling in different directions. On the contrary, try to maintain its rounded shape as much as possible.

Step 3

Step 3
Make sure that the dumpling does not come apart. If there are such moments during the modeling process, then the dumpling will definitely come apart during cooking.

Step 4

Step 4
This is how you get a smooth classic dumpling. This shape is ideal for delicate fillings — mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, cheese with herbs, raspberries.

Step 5

Step 5
Now letʼs make dumplings with a pigtail, fashionable ones. The braid in them is a little denser than the rest of the dough, so this formation is good for fillings like mushrooms, stewed cabbage, cherries and strawberries.

Step 6

Step 6
Pinch the edges of the dumpling as usual.

Now, starting from the right edge, fold the edge under, slightly flattening the seam behind the fold.

Step 9

Step 9
Repeat pinching and flattening. There will be a tail left at the edge — stick it on the bottom carefully.

These are some beauties! All that remains is to cook and help yourself.
