Pelmeni (Russian Ravioli) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Dough
4 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
Filling
3 lbs hamburger
3 red onions
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 dash pepper

Preparation

Finely dice the onions.
Mix raw hamburger, onions, salt, and pepper together.
Blend all the dough ingredients together and roll out.
Use a 3-3/8\" diameter dough press (or dumpling maker) to cut out rounds of dough.
Fill with ~1 tbsp of filling and seal shut.
Lay out on a tray (making sure they are not touching), separate layers with wax paper and freeze.
Once frozen, they will keep in the freezer for several weeks.
When ready to make, drop directly into boiling water or broth and cook until they float (~5 minutes). A little vegetable oil can be added to keep them from sticking together.
