Tips & variations
For dumplings, cabbage is good both fresh and sauerkraut. Sour can be put immediately on the dough, fresh - first stew.
In the filling, in addition to cabbage, you can add grated onions, carrots, minced meat (any), mushrooms, pre-boiled, fresh or smoked lard.
Vareniki are mainly made from unleavened dough, but some housewives knead it with yogurt, kefir, sour cream, kefir or milk, especially if the filling is sweet.
The finished dough is pleasant to the touch, soft and does not stick to hands. At the end of the kneading, cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for half an hour.
I love to eat dumplings, but I couldn’t cook, and everything turned out fine according to this recipe. Even my mother-in-law praised me, and this is very rare. Dumplings do not fall apart, this is a big plus. It’s very tasty with sour cream.
