作り方

手順

1. 1

   For the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.

   約1 分

2. 2

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

3. 3

   Crack the egg into the well and add the warm water.

4. 4

   Mix with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour, until a shaggy dough forms.

   約2 分

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   約10 分

   調理のヒント： The dough should be firm but pliable.

6. 6

   Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

   約30 分

   調理のヒント： Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll.

7. 7

   While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes in salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.

   約20 分

8. 8

   Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them until smooth.

   約2 分

   調理のヒント： Ensure there are no lumps for a creamy filling.

9. 9

   In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   約1 分

10. 10

    Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

    約12 分

    調理のヒント： Caramelizing the onions adds a rich, sweet flavor to the filling.

11. 11

    Combine the mashed potatoes with the caramelized onion, salt, and black pepper.

    約2 分

    調理のヒント： Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

12. 12

    Divide the rested dough into two equal portions.

    約1 分

13. 13

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to about 1/16-inch thickness.

    約3 分

    調理のヒント： Keep the remaining dough covered to prevent it from drying out.

14. 14

    Using a 2.5 to 3-inch round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the dough.

    約2 分

15. 15

    Place about a spoonful of potato filling in the center of each dough circle.

    約5 分

    調理のヒント： Do not overfill, or the vareniki will be hard to seal.

16. 16

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges firmly to seal, crimping them decoratively if desired.

    約5 分

    調理のヒント： Ensure a tight seal to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking.

17. 17

    Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

    約10 分

    調理のヒント： You can re-roll dough scraps once or twice.

18. 18

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

    約5 分

19. 19

    Carefully drop the vareniki into the boiling water in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

    約1 分

    Cook for 3-5 minutes after they float to the surface, until cooked through.

    約5 分

    調理のヒント： Cut one open to check for doneness if unsure.

    Remove the cooked vareniki with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
