Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

A 200 ml glass is used as a measuring unit. For the minced meat filling, finely chop the peeled onion and fry it with the minced meat in a pan with a little oil. Add the chopped parsley and season with pepper, salt, and paprika. Let the mixture cool. For the feta filling, crumble the cheese and mix with the chopped parsley. For the dough, combine the flour, milk, oil, 2 egg whites, salt, sugar, and baking powder and knead into a dough as soft as your earlobe. Knead in more flour if needed. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. Tear off walnut-sized pieces of dough and form them into balls. Press the dough balls into a circle on a lightly floured surface. Place a teaspoon of the chosen filling in the center of each dough and fold them over to form a semicircle. Press the edges firmly. Then place the prepared dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the dumplings with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. They’re delicious both hot and cold.
