Friday food day!

Tomorrow, we are going to visit our good friends from BYU-- Meggan and Cass Cook. We met at an international dinner at Church. Cass served his mission in Russia and introduced us to Pelmeni.
Elle especially likes it. She even helped me prepare it this time!

Pelmeni

Dough:
2-3 cups flour
1 egg
3/4 cup water
1/8 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients and add flour if needed to make a soft dough. Let it rest then roll out and cut into squares or circles.

Filing:
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 Tbs butter
2-3 Tbs cream (I just throw in sour cream)
1/4- 1/2 cup onion
salt and pepper

Cook everything together.

Put a spoonful of the meat mixture in each square/ circle of dough. Pinch the sides together. (I use a fork).

*Since it makes a lot, I put the leftovers on a cookie sheet then freeze them. After they are frozen, I put them all in a bag.

To cook: boil in salted water until they rise to the surface.

Season with:
butter
sour cream
salt
pepper
