Ingredients

Servings:
2 cupall-purpose flour
¾ cupwater
1 lbground lamb or mutton
1 unityellow onion (finely chopped)
2 clovegarlic (minced)
4 tbspcold water for filling
1 tspsalt
½ tspblack pepper

Steps

  1. Knead6 min
    smooth, firm dough
    Mix flour and water into a firm dough and knead until smooth. A soft sticky dough is harder to roll thin and tends to tear around the juicy filling.
  2. Rest25 min
    covered dough relaxed
    Rest the dough covered so the gluten relaxes. This is what lets small wrappers roll thin at the edges without springing back.
  3. Mix3 min
    juicy, cohesive filling
    Mix lamb, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and cold water until the liquid is absorbed. Added water becomes steam and juice inside the dumpling; a dry filling cooks dense.
  4. Shape15 min
    sealed pleated dumplings
    Roll small rounds slightly thicker in the center, add filling and pleat the edges upward. Keep the filling off the sealing surface or fat will prevent the pleats from holding.
  5. Steam18 min
    wrapper set and filling cooked through
    Steam the dumplings with space between them over actively boiling water. Do not crowd the steamer; weak circulation leaves the upper wrappers gummy before the meat is done.
