Ingredients
Flour | 1 kg |
Eggs | 2 pcs. |
Salt | 1 tsp |
Sugar | 1 tsp |
Water | 2600 ml |
Vegetable oil | 100-120 ml |
Potato | 1.5-2 kg |
Large onions | 4-5 pcs. |
Step cooking
- Using a sieve, sift 1 kg of wheat flour into a deep bowl. To the sifted flour add 1 tsp. salt and a similar amount of sugar. If you want to increase the portion and cook at once a lot of dumplings for freezing, then for each kilogram of flour you need to take 1 tsp. sugar and salt.
- Add 2 chicken eggs to the bulk ingredients. It is better to first break them into a cup, thus protecting yourself from a stale product or from falling into the dough.
- To the remaining ingredients, pour 600 ml of water into a bowl. It does not have to be warm. After adding all the products, we begin to knead the dumpling for the dumplings with your hands. It is not necessary to hammer the dough very much with flour, since then it will be difficult to roll and sculpt it.
- Water the dough with 25-30 ml of vegetable oil so that it stops sticking to the hands and walls of the vessel. After adding oil, continue to knead the dough.
- We cover the dish with a lid or cling film, and leave the dough to stand. Enough 15-20 minutes.
- After kneading the dough and insisting it, we proceed to rolling the dumplings. To do this, divide the settled dough into 2-3 parts, and roll a small ball from each. This is most conveniently done on a table sprinkled with a small amount of flour.
- We put the balls formed from the dough onto a tray sprinkled with lightly sifted flour. We cover the blanks with gauze and set aside for a few minutes to rest.
- Alternately, we roll out each dough ball with a rolling pin. Its thickness should be approximately 1.5-2 mm. Using a special form or a regular glass, we cut out identical circles from the dough.
- Pre-prepare the filling for the dumplings. Peel 1.5-2 kg of potatoes, cut into small pieces and put in a pan with 2 liters of water. We put on the stove and boil the potatoes. After its preparation, we crush the potato with a crush to a puree state. Add finely chopped and pan-fried onions until tender. Mix everything and salt to taste. In a plastic bag, we cut a corner and put in it the finished filling of mashed potatoes and fried onions. For each piece of dough, squeeze a little filling.
- Wrap each dumpling with filling and carefully connect the edges of the dough. It is important that the filling does not fall on the edges of the dough, because then they will disperse when frying or cooking. The formed dumplings are transferred to a tray or a baking sheet, lightly sprinkling it with flour. Similarly, we roll out the remaining dough pieces, cut out circles and sculpt dumplings.
- Pour 75-90 ml of vegetable oil into the pan and set it on fire to heat. Adjust the amount of oil yourself, it is important that the dumpling is half immersed in it.We spread the dumplings on the hot oil. Fry until one side is browned, then turn on the other. Fry on the reverse side for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. We get fried dumplings with potatoes using a slotted spoon so as not to take away excess fat.
- We shift to a beautiful plate and serve with fried onions. Fried dumplings in a pan are tasty, at the same time, with a light crisp.
