Instructions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water. Knead the mixture until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, make the filling. In another bowl, mix the ground beef or lamb with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set the filling aside.

Step 3

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet on a floured surface. Cut the sheet into small squares, about 1-inch by 1-inch.

Step 4

Place a small amount of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the squares in half, forming triangles, and pinch the edges to seal the dumplings.
