"These can be served as a soup in the broth you boil them in or drained out and served alone. If serving as a soup, tossing in a little fresh dill and a dollop of sour cream is highly recommended."

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

directions

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.

I love to experiment with new recipes, probably due to my science background, I'm always altering conditions. Nothing is more fun than inviting people over to eat the food I have put together!
