Cooking homemade dumplings
Homemade dumplings are good because they are made with your hands at home. You know exactly what ingredients and type of meat they consist of, what was added in them from spices, etc. Dumplings with broth, which we will cook today in pots, will appeal to both children and adults.
Essential Ingredients
- Half a teaspoon of salt.
- Two glasses of flour (sifted).
- One onion.
- Half a glass of water.
- One egg.
- Salt and ground pepper to taste.
- Meat (pork, beef, chicken - your choice) - half a kilogram.
The process of making dumplings
Sift the flour directly onto the table, making a small depression. We will break a chicken egg into it and pour water. Now you can knead a cool dough. The finished dough should "rest" a little. To do this, place it in the refrigerator for half an hour, having previously wrapped it in cling film.
While the dough is preparing, make the filling for dumplings. Remember, if you want to make delicious and satisfying dumplings with broth, then we recommend taking several types of meat for the filling. It can be pork and chicken, pork and beef, chicken and turkey. There can be many options, choose to your taste.
We twist the meat through a meat grinder, add a little salt, pepper and spices, as well as finely chopped onions. Now we turn to the formation of the dish.
We take out the dough from the refrigerator, roll it on the board and make a circle, the thickness of which should not be more than 20 mm. If you have a special tool for making dumplings, then drill it. If this is not available in the house, then always at hand will be an ordinary glass with which you can form dumplings.
Put a little stuffing in the center of the mold and close the edges. Now roll each dumpling in flour a little so that it does not stick together when cooking with a neighbor. Done. Move on.

Cooking dumplings in a pot
In order for home-made dumplings with broth to be cooked in the oven faster, preliminary housewives advise them to boil on the stove. Pour water into a saucepan, salt it, add several large slices of carrots, salt and spices. When the water boils, you can throw our homemade dumplings. Dumplings should be cooked until half cooked. When they are cooked, take them out of the pan, put them on a plate with a slotted spoon and cool them down a bit. We lay the cooled dumplings in pre-prepared pots.
While the dumplings will cool, you can do the cooking of mushrooms. Mushrooms should be finely chopped, salt and stew in a skillet for about five to seven minutes. Then add the finely chopped onions to them and fry them over high heat for another two or three minutes.
Pouring is one of the main ingredients of such a dish as dumplings in a pot in the oven. The recipe will require us to mix sour cream, six to eight tablespoons of broth, in which dumplings and greens were cooked. It is with this sauce that we will pour mushrooms and dumplings.
We preheat the oven to 200 degrees in advance. Already in the hot set the pots and wait about half an hour. Remember that the covers must be closed all this time. If your pots do not have them, then replace them with ordinary cooking foil.
Dumplings in a pot with meat broth
There are times that dumplings should replace not just dinner, but a full-fledged lunch - the first and second dish - two in one. How to cook dumplings with broth so that the dish turns out high-calorie and hearty? Here, meat broth will come to the rescue.
When you just cook dumplings, the broth consists, as you understand, of water, and no fat, rich structures are not there and never will be. But if you cook the broth from meat on the bone, then you yourself understand that the broth will be significantly different from the usual "dumplings."
So, we cook the meat broth in advance for about two hours. Better if you take fatty pork or beef bone. In the broth, you can add roots (celery) and vegetables (onions, carrots), aromatic spices.
In this recipe, dumplings can not be cooked in advance. We put them frozen directly in pots. They should occupy approximately one third of the volume of the dishes. Now add the broth almost to the top. You can put pots directly in a cold oven. We light it, set the temperature to 200 degrees and cook dumplings with broth for about twenty minutes. Turn off the oven. Let the dish go for a while in the hot oven.
As a result, you will get tasty and fragrant, hearty and high-calorie dumplings with broth, which can completely replace both the first and second together. This dish is good for housewives in that you don’t have to “bother” with cooking too much, and you can feed large pots with such pots.
