Directions

  1. Mix ground chicken, onion, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

  2. Sift all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour together in a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  3. Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl. Pour over flour mixture, mix until dough comes together.

  4. Turn dough out on a lightly floured work surface. Knead, adding the remaining 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, until dough is elastic. Divide dough into 4 pieces.

  5. Roll out 1 piece dough to 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into circles with a 2-inch cookie cutter or water glass. Place 1 teaspoon chicken mixture in the center. Brush edges with water. Fold over into a half-moon shape and seal edges. Repeat with remaining dough and chicken mixture.

  6. Fill a large pot with water, add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Cook pelmeni in batches until they float to the top, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter using a slotted spoon.

Recipe Note

Russian dumplings wrapped in unleavened dough. This is my mother-in-law's recipe so I can cook for my Russian husband. Serve with broth and butter or sour cream!
