    Honestly useing a food processor is useless. I make these a lot and am able to do it entirely by hand. It is also easier to take the flour and add it to the water and eggs, that way you can't really go wrong with the ratio of dough to meat

    Meat-Filled Dumplings Pelmeni, I discovered these dumplings during a short stay in Siberia. These savory little nuggets are what frozen food is all about! Needless to say, in the winter months, refrigeration is not needed. Huge bags are filled with foods and simply stored outside during the interminable winter months. The pelmeni are simply taken out of the bag, popped into a beef or chicken broth or they can be fried in butter. I prefer the boiling method as stated in this recipe. Pelmeni is usually eaten with the inevitable sour cream and maybe with a sprinkle of dill., Honestly useing a food processor is useless. I make these a lot and am able to do it entirely by hand. It is also easier to take the flour and add it to the water and eggs, that way you can’t really go wrong with the ratio of dough to meat, I’ve been looking for this recipe for years! I had fond memories of eating these as a child but no idea what was actually in them. I have to say that three cups of flour weren’t nearly enough for my noodle dough — it was so sticky and gooey I couldn’t even get it out of the food processor. Between getting it out of the food processor and kneading it I probably added another 1 1/2 cups! I’m really surprised that none of the other reviewers seem to have had that problem… once the dough was ok, though, everything else went fine. The pelmeni I grew up with weren’t folded in half, they were little envelopes of meat a square folded into a triangle with the meat in the middle, then the points folded over, so I made mine like that. I also left out the onion and added 1 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp mixed herbs, and boiled them in broth rather than water. With the butter and sour cream, they were perfect, exactly the way I remember them. Thanks for posting this — I’m so grateful to have this recipe!
