Sift the flour, make a hole in the center of the flour slides, gently drive an egg in there, then pour in water, salt and replace the dough.
Instead of water, dumplings dough can be made on potato broth or kefir. Get the original, soft dough. The test must be given time to relax after kneading, so that it acquires a pleasant elasticity.
It remains to cook the filling and arrange the dumplings correctly. Boil potatoes for the stuffing, mash with a crush practically without water, so that the filling turns out to be dense. The fried onions are usually added to a potato basis - so it is more tasty.
Cabbage can be used fresh or fermented. Fresh need to wash, finely chop and stew on oil and water. Before stewing, pickled from the brine, optionally washed with cold water. Together with the cabbage you can put out the grated carrots and finely chopped onions. Optionally, add bay leaf, grated Bulgarian pepper.

1. Roll out a dough layer no more than two millimeters thick. With the help of the mug cut the same circles, fill each with filling and gently close up.
2. To form from a half of the test a thin long bar 3-4 cm in diameter. Cut the “sausage” into pieces no more than one and a half to two centimeters thick. Dip each piece into flour, giving a rounded shape, and roll out.

- While a portion of the dough is being rolled, the other must be removed in polyethylene so that the dough does not lose elasticity.
