  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil Salt to taste Freshly-grnd white pepper to taste
  • 1 c. lowfat sour cream

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the water, oil and egg. Mix well. Add in the salt and 3 c. of the flour. Mix till the dough comes together and form a smooth ball. If the dough is too sticky-add in a little more flour, about 1/4 c. at a time. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 min.

  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to a square, about 14 inches and 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Wet the edges of the dough with a little water and fold the dough over to create triangle. Seal the edges completely.
  4. Bring a pot of salt water to a boil. Add in the triangles and cook for about 4 to 5 min or possibly till the triangles float for 1 minute. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a large skillet, heat half of the butter. Pan-fry the dumplings in batches. Cook till golden brown both sides, about 2 min. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Serve hot with the lowfat sour cream and pickled red onions.
