Dough for dumplings/vareniki
4 servings
30 minutes
Dough for dumplings and vareniki is the foundation of classic Russian dishes, a symbol of comfort and family traditions. Its history dates back to ancient times when housewives manually kneaded elastic dough to keep the filling juicy and aromatic. The finished dough is soft and pliable, easily rolled out and perfectly holds meat or vegetable filling. The taste is neutral, slightly salty, allowing the full range of the filling to shine through. It is suitable not only for dumplings but also for vareniki with various fillings—from potatoes and mushrooms to cottage cheese and berries. This dough is the basis of homemade treats that bring generations together around a cozy table.
