Many people do not dare to make dumplings themselves.
And this is not surprising, because making dumplings that will not fall apart during cooking is not an easy task.
However, there are several tricks that you can try to achieve an excellent effect, says Yulia Arkhipova .
What size should the dough be?
Choosing the right size piece of dough plays an important role in creating perfect dumplings.
The piece of dough should be large enough to hold the required amount of filling, but not so large that it is difficult to stick together. It is recommended to use dough about 2-3 mm thick.
The edges of the dough need to be greased
Before you start gluing the dumplings together, you need to brush the edges of the dough with water or egg. This will help them stick together better and prevent the dumplings from falling apart while cooking. You can use a brush or your fingers to apply water or egg to the edges of the dough.
A little bit of filling
It is important to remember that the dough must be thin enough not to break during cooking, so it should be in moderation.
It needs to be carefully laid out along the entire perimeter of the dough. Trying to add more filling, the dumplings will simply fall apart later.
Use of special devices
If you have special molds or devices for making dumplings, they are definitely worth using.
They can greatly simplify the process and help create perfect dumplings. Of course, you can do the molding with your bare hands. The main thing is to show desire and patience.
