Dumplings with mushrooms

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make dumplings with mushrooms? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Use flour of the highest grade. Take the egg C1 or C0. 1-1.5 hours before cooking, remove it from the refrigerator. In order for the dough to be successful, the products included in it must be at room temperature. Take a large onion or 2 small ones. Instead of champignons, you can take any mushrooms. Just keep in mind that some of them need to be boiled beforehand.

2. Step 2:

   

   Start by making the dough. Wash the egg with soap suitable for food, dry it with a towel or napkin and break it into a separate container. Add salt and whisk with a fork or whisk. It is not necessary to beat until the foam appears. Adding salt improves the taste of the dough and simplifies the process of beating eggs. Add water at room temperature and mix until smooth.

3. Step 3:

   

   To knead the dough, take a deep bowl in which it will be convenient to mix dry and liquid ingredients. Sift the flour to sift out small debris and the dough is saturated with oxygen. Pour half of the flour into this bowl. Make a recess in the middle of the flour.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the egg-water mixture into the recess in the flour and mix. Be sure to add the liquid component to the dry one, and not vice versa. So the dough will turn out the most successful. Since the properties of flour of the same grade, but different manufacturers may differ, in order to get the desired consistency, add the remaining flour in small portions.

5. Step 5:

   

   When it becomes difficult to knead with a spoon, start doing it with your hands. Knead the dough thoroughly.

6. Step 6:

   

   The dough should be slightly elastic, but tender and not stick to your hands. Do not make the dough too steep, so as not to get rubber dumplings. Cover the dough with a cotton towel or cling film so that it does not dry. Leave it for 15-20 minutes to rest. After that, it will be easier to work with him.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Peel the onion, rinse and cut into small cubes. So it will cook quickly and the filling will be more homogeneous.

9. Step 8:

   

   Peel, rinse and chop the mushrooms as well as onions so that the filling is more homogeneous.

10. Step 9:

    

    To fry the filling, take a frying pan with a diameter of at least 18 cm in order to fit the whole filling. Heat it over medium heat. Put the butter and melt it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped onion. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to turn golden. It took me about 3 minutes. Fry the onion first, because it should be slightly fried, which will not work because of the excess liquid in the mushrooms.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add the mushrooms to the onion and fry until the moisture evaporates. If you have frozen mushrooms, there will be more moisture, respectively, the frying time will increase. At the end, add a little salt and mix so that the salt completely dissolves and the filling is salted evenly. Cool completely.

12. Step 11:

    

    Proceed to modeling dumplings. Roll out the dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour into a layer 0.3-0.5 cm thick. Using a mold (glass, pastry ring), cut out round blanks for dumplings with a diameter of 4-6 cm. Make dumplings of such sizes as you like best. Just keep in mind that if you make too large, you will need more fillings and you may have extra dough left.

13. Step 12:

    

    Put the mushroom filling in the center of the circles.

14. Step 13:

    

    Make dumplings by connecting the edges.

15. Step 14:

    

    Do the same with the remaining dough and filling. In order to cook dumplings, take a sufficiently spacious saucepan, fill 2/3 with water. Add a little salt and bring to a boil. Lower the dumplings into boiling water, gently (the dough in homemade dumplings is quite tender and easy to tear) lift them with a spoon or a slotted spoon. After that, turn down the heat a little and cook for 3-4 minutes.
