Dumplings on kefir

Ingredients
Kefir 2 glasses
Egg 1 pc.
A pinch of salt
How much flour will the dough take
Baking dough 1-1.5 tsp.
SECOND OPTION:
Pancake flour 1 kg.
Baked milk 1 glass
Egg 1 pc
Watch water over dough

Cooking method

1. For dumplings I make dough on kefir or whey, as my grandmother taught. And only for dumplings with berries - on the water.
slightly warm about 2 cups of kefir
1 egg
a little salt
how much flour the dough will take. Yes, sprinkle with baking powder on the dough. I always sprinkle it by eye. Maybe 1-1.5 tsp.
Stir out the not steep dough, cover with a towel and let stand for half an hour. And then roll and mold the dumplings.
2. They taught me how to make delicious dumplings in Ukraine.
I make them from pancake flour
For 1 kg. pancake flour
1 glass of baked milk
a little water, I won't say for sure, because you have to look at the dough.
1 egg.
Kneading the dough is not very cool.
And I make dumplings. But I do not boil them, but steam them. I pour water into a saucepan, bring it to a boil, and when it boils, I pull cheesecloth. I spread the dumplings and cover with a lid, wait 10 minutes. The dumplings are ready.
While the dumplings are being cooked, I fry lard with onions in a frying pan and pour all this overcooked business into a bowl where I will put the dumplings, of course this is not for a sweet filling. And then I mix them or shake them together with the dumplings. Of course this is not for everybody. Instead of lard, you can simply overcook an onion in vegetable oil.
They turn out like pies - lush. Highly recommend.
And the next day, if of course they remain, I throw them into a frying pan and fry them, they turn out even tastier.
And I make fillings like this:
1. Braised cabbage.
2. Potato with liver
3. Curd
4. Any berries.
I cook dumplings in a double boiler, only the grate should be well greased with odorless vegetable oil.

interesting, but to try it, I just bought a steamer, now I'm looking for interesting dishes)

and my dumplings for a couple settle after they have taken off the steam.

I also settle, but the taste

mother-in-law did not settle for her. I watched everything. how and what. and then she did it herself. the reptiles settled. the only ones that do not settle. This dough is made not on the basis of kefir but on cottage cheese.

share the recipe for cottage cheese dough)

1 full glass of cottage cheese. about 5 cups of sugar. 5 eggs. beat eggs with a mixer, if the filling is salty, then there is less sugar. add about 5 kg of flour and 1 tsp. soda. knead the dough. refrigerate for 30 minutes in a bag. get and sculpt dumplings. steam for as much as 30 minutes. .. this is the recipe. but it's more like sweet dumplings. although you can adjust everything for yourself. they turn out like some kind of pies. Well, you will understand yourself.

and my dumplings for a couple settle after they have taken off the steam.

Correct steamed dumplings, after being removed from the steam, do not settle.
If they settle, then there are several reasons for this. Either the dough is not correct, or undercooked or overcooked. Or rolled out the dough thinly.

steam for as much as 30 minutes. ..

Why so much? This is the same dough based on kefir (yogurt), only with the addition of cottage cheese, which gives the dumplings a more fluffy and tender structure.

they turn out like some kind of pies. Well, you will understand yourself.

If the dough is squeezed out with a glass, then yes, but if with a glass, then it will turn out to be a decent dumpling.

you did not understand. turns out to be pies. it is out of size. and the dough is like pies. well like that. not so sure. I did not mean the size. and 30 minutes is not my desire. this is how it is written in the recipe. probably due to the fact that there are many eggs. something like steamed biscuit. but I cannot explain. it must be done and you will see for yourself how it turns out and the fact that on kefir I settle for the reasons that you described. I agree with you. and I know these reasons. and I always take this into account. but still settle ((((

Recently I got a double boiler. I decided to please with dumplings. I read that you can cook a lot in a double boiler at once. so I laid 3 tiers. While the first tier of dumplings was boiling, the upper ones sat down and hardened ... What's wrong? I thought that I still need to cook one tier at a time, since the steam does not reach the required volume to the upper tier and the dumplings are overlaid.
Made on kefir. I used to make these in an ordinary saucepan for a couple - everything worked out ...

So you can cook such dumplings in a mantool?
