Dumplings without eggs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make dumplings without eggs? Prepare your food. The indicated amount of flour is an approximate amount, it may take more or less, you will look at the dough. Kefir is suitable for any fat content; remove it from the refrigerator in advance so that it comes to room temperature. Suitable fillings include cottage cheese, cherries, cabbage, mushrooms, and I have potatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour kefir into a bowl, add soda and salt to it. Stir with a fork.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add half the flour and mix the dough again with a fork. Then start adding flour in portions, kneading the dough first with a fork, then with your hand. Stop when the dough stops sticking to your hands and starts to come together into a ball.

4. STEP 4

   

   Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth. If necessary, dust the table with flour, but at this point my dough was practically no longer sticky. Gather the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the gluten will develop well - the dough will become elastic and will not tear when rolling.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut the tubers into pieces, add water and cook over medium heat. Add salt. Cook the potatoes for 25-30 minutes; they should be pierced well with a knife. Pour the water into a glass, leaving some in the pan. Mash the potatoes, adding reserved water if necessary. If you wish, you can add butter or fried onions to it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out the finished dough on a table sprinkled with flour into a thin layer. It will be more convenient to do this in parts, cutting off the required amount of dough, and putting the rest back in the bowl under the towel.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut out circles from the layer in a suitable shape, I have a glass.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place a lump of mashed potatoes into the dough circle. Fill the dumpling in the form of a pie, you can decorate it with a braid. Make all the dumplings this way.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cook the dumplings in plenty of salted water for 5-10 minutes until they float to the surface.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve dumplings with sour cream, butter, cracklings or fried onions. Bon appetit!

Personally, I like homemade dumplings. I saw this recipe and immediately wanted to make dumplings without eggs. What could be better when using a minimum of products. You just need flour, kefir, salt and of course potatoes for the filling. You can use other fillings, such as cottage cheese or cherries. First of all, you need to cook the potatoes. For the dough, I mixed flour and kefir, add flour in portions. I used sifted flour to avoid any debris. First I stirred with a spoon, and then kneaded with my hands. The dough kneads quickly and easily. It turns out gentle and does not stick to your hands at all. Cover the finished dough with a towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes. And started filling. I made mashed potatoes from boiled potatoes. By the time I kneaded the dough, the filling had cooled. Well, 30 minutes passed and I started making dumplings. Divided the dough into two parts. And she rolled each of them in turn into a thin layer, pressing the circles with a glass. Place 1.5 teaspoons of puree in the middle of each circle. And I pinched the ends of our dumplings. Then she put a pan of water on the fire, brought it to a boil and placed the dumplings in the pan. After they floated to the surface, I cooked them for a couple more minutes. The dumplings are ready. The dough turned out to be very tender and soft thanks to the addition of kefir. Store-bought dumplings cannot be compared to homemade ones.
