🧂 Ingrédients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg(for dough)
- 250 ml Water(plus more if needed)
- 1 tsp Salt(for dough)
- 7-8 large Eggs(for filling)

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and 1 tsp salt. Dissolve salt in water, then gradually add to flour, mixing to form a firm dough. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Roll and cut the dough: Divide the dough into portions. Roll each portion very thinly (about 1/16 inch thick). Fold the dough into an accordion or roll it into a log and cut into 4-5 cm squares.

Form the dumplings: Fold each square in half to form a triangle, sealing only the side edges. Leave a small opening at the top. Carefully pour about 1 tablespoon of the egg filling into each dumpling through the opening. Seal the top opening securely.

Boil the dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the egg filling is set.

Serve: Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. They are often served with a drizzle of melted butter, a dollop of sour cream, or fresh herbs.
