Cooking method

We take products based on your preferences. The more you love, the more you take.
On the fat that you prefer, fry the previously prepared and cut into pieces the liver until a crust forms (you can immediately in that saucepan in which everything will be brought to readiness). Separately fry the finely chopped onion until golden brown and combine with the liver.
Initially, my grandmother fried the liver only in butter, then in margarine. Since, in the light of my new priorities in nutrition, I do not welcome frying in butter, and I do not recognize margarine as a class, I use vegetable oil, and preferably pork fat. Why is animal fat better? And because there is a theory that mixing vegetable and animal fats is to contribute to their better deposition on the body. Do we need it?
The main difficulty in this recipe was the dough, which my grandmother taught me to make for intuition. Therefore, in order to get as close as possible to that option and so that there were no mistakes, I had to tinker with it in order to adapt. By the way, the dough is perfectly stored in the refrigerator for a week (I haven't tested it anymore).
We knead the dough according to its elasticity, focusing on the rule of the kolobok, it can be harder. The bread maker does an excellent job with this. Dumplings in finished form should be elastic and not fermented in the broth.
Now pour water into the pot where the liver and onion are located, add spices, salt and bring to a boil.
At this time, we roll out the sausages from the dough and cut the dumplings of the caliber that suits you. After boiling water, put them in a saucepan. At the same time, add the bay leaf.
This is if it is cultural. I usually just, in the process of boiling water, pluck them with my hands and roll the sausages in my hands as well.
That's it, we are waiting for the dumplings to cook, and this happens after they float.
Serve sprinkled with herbs.
Bon Appetit!

Note

This dish was the signature dish of her husband's grandmother and was popular with everyone. Despite the fact that my grandmother had three daughters, several granddaughters, daughter-in-law, only I expressed a desire to learn how to cook it. And to this day, among my husband's relatives, I am the only one who cooks him. And everyone is ready to come to it.
The whole difficulty of science was that when it came to tasting, the dumplings themselves were always not the same as those of my grandmother.
How did your grandmother teach? Well, take this one, a little of this, and everything in the same spirit. Considering that the famous grandmother's "just now" could mean five minutes ago and a month, or even several years, then .... the dumplings were either fermented or, on the contrary, were hard. Until the husband offered to prepare the dough directly under the grandmother's guidance.
I must note that in the original version it consisted only of flour, water, eggs and salt. Was kneaded to such a state

and dipped into the broth with a teaspoon, which was previously dipped in this broth each time. I can still do this, but I cannot convey the consistency of the dough. And I can't describe the products because of the difference in the quality of flour. And I take the proportions by eye, depending on how much I was going to cook.
I can say that my daughter doesn't like my liver.In this version, a piece or two is eaten.

More appetizing photos from the computer have disappeared, I will take new ones at the first opportunity.
And my husband's grandmother was just gorgeous. A real grandmother, as in fairy tales they show and old films.
