Dough for dumplings made with milk is a classic base for tender, airy dumplings traditionally loved in Russian cuisine. Milk gives the dough softness and a light creamy flavor, while vegetable oil makes it elastic and easy to work with. Historically, dumplings became popular due to their simplicity of preparation and the ability to diversify fillings: from sweet cottage cheese to juicy meat combinations. After resting, the dough becomes especially pliable, allowing for the creation of perfect dumplings with thin dough and rich filling. This recipe brings the taste of home comfort, making meals warm and heartfelt.
