INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare all the ingredients.
- Sift the flour into the bowl of a mixer. Leave 50 grams for dusting.
- Add the eggs.
- Add salt and water.
- Knead the dough. Kneading will take about 7–10 minutes. The dough should be elastic, bend well, and not stick to your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little water.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Finely chop the white onion, and finely chop the parsley and dill.
- Grate the slightly frozen butter on a fine grater.
- Add the butter, onion, and garlic (pressed) to the ground chicken. Add the herbs, leaving a little for serving.
- Salt and pepper the filling, and add a little water (30-50 ml). Mix everything well. Water is needed to make the dumplings juicy.
- Roll out the dough into a thin layer and cut out circles using a glass or a pastry ring. Gather the dough scraps into a ball and cover them with plastic wrap.
- Place the filling onto the dough circles with a spoon, fold the dough in half, and pinch the edges tightly. Connect the corners of the dough to form a round dumpling. Make all the dumplings this way. They can be placed on flour-dusted plates and frozen for future use.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil, adding salt, bay leaf, and black peppercorns.
- Add the dumplings to the boiling water, bring back to a boil, wait for them to float, and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken dumplings with sour cream and butter.
