Knead a firm dough with the flour, egg, water, and half the salt.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes.
Mix the mince with grated onion, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and the remaining salt.
Roll the dough thin, cut it into squares, and place the meat filling in the centers.
Fold the squares into triangles and press the edges firmly.
Boil the girik dumplings in salted water for 12 minutes.
Fry the pepper paste in butter for 2 minutes.
Serve the girik with garlicky yogurt and the pepper-paste butter.
💡 Tip: Rolling the dough thin keeps the dumplings from becoming heavy as they boil.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with garlicky yogurt and pepper butter spooned over the top.
