It is believed that classic pastry for dumplings prepared without eggs and milk. However, such a dough, when eaten, is dense, like pasta, and sculpting dumplings from it manually too time-consuming, while there is a risk that the dumplings will boil unevenly and fall apart during cooking.

Dumpling traditions

The main tradition in the modeling of dumplings is the creation of a "happy dumpling". Usually, during the modeling process, a coin, salt or pepper is placed in a randomly selected dumpling instead of the filling (it happens that the dumpling is simply left empty). It is believed that the lucky one who comes across such unusual dumpling, will be accompanied by good luck and luck.

It has become a rare tradition to cook dumplings in a close family circle. According to this tradition, each member of the family is involved in the modeling process, which performs a certain function. One rolls out the dough, the second cuts out circles from the dough, the third fills the blanks with minced meat, and the rest help to sculpt. Thus, when preparing dumplings, even the smallest will find work to do - for example, press a glass on the rolled out dough to make circles. Or putting minced meat on circles. - Making dumplings on your own is very healthy: fine motor work helps to strengthen nervous system the money saved will allow you to buy healthy vegetables or fruits, and the absence of synthetic flavor enhancers in the product will preserve freedom from food addiction.

Traditionally, dumplings are made in December-January, when it is cold outside and you want to do something without leaving your home.

How long to cook dumplings?

After the dumplings float to the surface and boil, dumplings should be cooked for about 5-10 minutes (sometimes 15). In fact, it all depends on the thickness of the dough and on the minced meat (what kind of meat it is made from). Therefore, I usually taste after the dough looks soft, but not earlier than 5 minutes after surfacing. On store dumplings, they usually write the time of their preparation.

You can cook dumplings in the old-fashioned way, and here you definitely won’t go wrong. After the dumplings boil, add a little water, the water stops boiling. We are waiting re-boiling, add water again. And we do this three times. Dumplings are ready!

On some packs of dumplings, I even saw instructions on how much to cook dumplings. If you throw dumplings into boiling water and wait until they begin to boil, then the cooking time will be 3-5 minutes. And the control test: they should float to the surface.

Dumplings are placed in small portions in boiling salted water, after half a minute they must be carefully mixed with a slotted spoon. You can add bay leaf.

Dumplings made at home good stuffing(which the hostess makes herself) it is enough to cook for 5 minutes after boiling or even a little less. Store-bought dumplings should be boiled a little more for reliability.

Fire, heating should be maximum.

Time washes life differently: from the moment the last dumplings surface to 10-15 minutes, until the dumplings start to fall apart.

Considering that man is an omnivore, undercooked meat can also be eaten. However, I prefer to cook the dumplings longer until the mince smell is gone.

It is not realistic to say the exact time. Different kinds of dumplings different dough, different stuffing (minced meat), all factors affect the duration of cooking.

But a simple grandmother's way will help you cook dumplings correctly. As soon as they surfaced after boiling, leave to boil for literally 20 seconds and you can get it. Grandmothers say if a dumpling floats, it means it is rushing out!!

The cooking time of dumplings depends on their quality and size.

If dumplings are store-bought, with a thick dough, or large, then they need to be cooked longer. While the dough is boiled, it is also necessary to prepare the minced meat, so the method surfaced and it is not good to get it here. Again - more than 4-5 minutes there is a chance that they will boil and fall apart into tatters.

If the dumplings are small, homemade, with thin dough, then a minute after they pop up - and you're done, get it and eat it.

First, put the saucepan cold water on the fire and wait until the water in the pan boils. Then pour dumplings into boiling water and wait until they float. When they float to the top, it remains to cook for 5 minutes.

Cooking time for dumplings is different, depending on the thickness of the rolled out dough and the size of the dumplings themselves. Small dumplings with thinly rolled dough will cook faster than large ones, and it’s not good to digest them either - they will fall apart. Therefore, the time is marked from the moment the dumplings rise, 5 minutes is enough.

Many people love dumplings. Of course, it is much tastier and healthier to make dumplings on your own, but most of us still buy finished semi-finished product in the shop. Usually, a caring manufacturer indicates the cooking time on the pack. Usually, total time Cooking dumplings will take about 20 minutes. As soon as the dumplings float, turn off the gas, cover the pan with a lid and cook the dumplings for about 10 minutes. It is after this period of time that dumplings are usually ready. It remains only to pull them out of the pan, add sour cream, herbs or mustard and enjoy a delicious dish.
