Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade dumplings in a dumpling maker? Prepare the indicated products. I have homemade minced chicken/pork, with onions and garlic already added. You can use any minced meat for dumplings. High-grade wheat flour, the amount of flour indicated is approximate, a little more may be required — for the dough and for rolling out the dough, laying ready-made dumplings, etc. Vegetable oil, warm boiled water. C1 took the egg.

Step 2

Step 2
Dissolve salt in warm water and, if desired, a little ground black pepper. Sift 3.5 cups of wheat flour into a deep bowl, make a hole and break a clean, raw chicken egg into it. Stir with a spoon or fork. You may need more or less flour. Focus on the desired consistency of the dough.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour in warm water with salt, vegetable oil and knead the dough. If necessary, add flour to bring the dough into a ball. It should be elastic and elastic. Wrap the dough in a bag or cling film and leave on the table for 30 — 40 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
If you have minced meat without onions and garlic, then add chopped vegetables (it is better to cut finely) into the minced meat, add salt and ground black pepper. Stir evenly.

Step 5

Step 5
I recommend using a metal dumpling maker, it is stronger and more convenient to use. I only have plastic ones at home. Sprinkle the dumpling maker with flour — this is done to make it easier to remove the finished dumplings.

Step 6

Step 6
Divide the rested dough into two or three parts. Sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough (part) into a thin layer. Dust the dough and rolling pin with flour to prevent it from sticking. Place the rolled out dough onto the dumpling maker.

Step 7

Step 7
Use a teaspoon (half a teaspoon at a time) to place the minced meat into the indentations, slightly pressing them into the dough. At the same time, try not to place the minced meat on the edges of the recesses, otherwise the dumplings will turn out fragile and will fall apart during cooking.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll out the second part of the dough into a thin layer and cover the dumpling with minced meat.

Step 9

Step 9
Sprinkle this layer with flour. Using a rolling pin, first lightly and then harder, roll out the dough on the dumpling maker. You need to roll it out so that the dumplings along the edges of the dumplings become visible.

Step 10

Step 10
Skim off excess dough. And shake out the dumplings onto the table by turning the dumpling maker over. If this turns out poorly (it’s worse in plastic), then you can help with your hands without damaging the dumplings.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the finished dumplings on a board sprinkled with flour, not allowing them to touch each other. Dumplings can be frozen by placing them in the freezer first on a board (or if there is a special compartment for dumplings), when they are frozen, put them in a bag. It’s better to boil the dumplings right away.

Step 12

Step 12
To boil the dumplings, place water over high heat, add salt, bay leaf and black pepper. When the water boils, drop the dumplings into the water one at a time, stir the dumplings repeatedly to prevent them from sticking together. Reduce the heat to medium and wait until the dumplings float to the surface.

Step 13

Step 13
Remove the finished dumplings to a plate with a slotted spoon and serve. You can offer sour cream and fresh herbs. Homemade dumplings can be safely offered to children.
