For the dough: Combine flour and 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and lukewarm water. Mix until a firm dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The dough should be firm but pliable. - 2
For the filling: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned, about 10-15 minutes.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure mushrooms are well-drained of liquid. - 4
Season the mushroom mixture with the remaining 0.5 tsp salt and black pepper. Let cool completely.

Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface. Cut out small circles (about 7-8 cm diameter).
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use a cookie cutter or glass for consistent circles. - 6
Place a small amount of the mushroom filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough in half to create a semi-circle, then pinch the edges firmly to seal. You can also bring the two ends together to form a crescent shape.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure edges are well-sealed to prevent filling from leaking. - 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water, working in batches if necessary.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Don't overcrowd the pot. - 8
Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and the dough is cooked through.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Dumplings are cooked when they float. - 9
Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
