Bulmeni with butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make bulmeni with butter? Prepare your food. I have homemade minced meat, made from pork and beef, with onions. You can buy store-bought or make your own. Any meat is also suitable - chicken, turkey, separately pork and beef. Take table vinegar, 6 or 9%. Don't be afraid of the presence of vinegar; it is not felt in the finished dish, but gives elasticity to the dough. Butter is high-quality, natural. Cool it well before cooking.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the flour into a bowl, mix it with salt. Pour vinegar, odorless vegetable oil and water into the flour. Pour in water in portions, stirring and assessing the condition of the dough. Knead the dough first with a fork, then with your hand. You may need less or more flour, you can read more about this in the article, the link to it is at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Transfer the dough to a floured board. Knead it, adding flour if necessary, for about 10 minutes, until smooth and homogeneous. It will practically stop sticking to your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wrap the dough in a bag and leave to rest for 30 minutes. During this time, the flour will absorb all the liquid and the gluten will develop well, making the dough more elastic. While the dough is resting, you can start making the filling. Grind the meat and onions in a meat grinder, season the minced meat with salt and pepper.

5. STEP 5

   

   After half an hour, cut a piece of dough and roll it into a round layer 2-3mm thick. If necessary, sprinkle the table with flour.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the dough into circles of a suitable shape, I used a glass. Place a lump of minced meat in the center of each circle. Cut the butter into cubes about 1cm in size. Place one or two cubes of butter in the center of the minced meat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Make the bulmeni in the classic way - first fold the workpiece in half, like a pie, and seal it. Then connect the ends and mold them. Place the finished bulmeni on a board dusted with flour. You can freeze them or cook them right away.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cook the bulmeni in plenty of salted water, stirring to prevent them from sticking to the bottom, for about 5 minutes after boiling. Serve them with sour cream. Bon appetit!

I'm interested in the recipe for bulmeni with butter. I haven’t made dumpling dough with vinegar before, and adding oil to minced meat when modeling is also new to me, so today I decided to experiment))). I’ll say right away: the experiment was more than successful! The dough turned out to be elastic, does not become soggy when cooked, and the vinegar is not felt at all. The filling turns out juicy; adding butter enriches its taste. And the increase in calorie content is not at all upsetting))). I didn’t cut the butter into cubes; it was easier for me to separate the required amount from a piece with a teaspoon, which I used to scoop up the minced meat. The extra step slows down the usual speed of making dumplings a little, but the dumplings are worth it! Thanks for the recipe, katushafin!

Why "bu"lmeni? As soon as I removed pork from my diet, I added chicken with butter to the beef. And I still call cutlets made from this minced meat cutlets, and dumplings - dumplings. And I always swirled oil into fish cutlets. Where does such culinary and linguistic subtlety come from?
