Knead the flour, egg, water, and half the salt into a firm dough.
Cover the dough and rest for 20 minutes so it can stretch enough to roll without tearing.
Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes, until tender.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Mash the potatoes and mix with the onion, black pepper, and salt.
Roll the dough thinly, cut rounds, fill with the potato mixture, and close into half-moons.
Boil the hengel in salted water for 10 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
Whisk the yogurt with garlic, and heat the red pepper flakes in butter for 1 minute.
Drain the hengel and serve hot with yogurt and red pepper butter.
💡 Tip: Kneading a firm dough and resting it briefly keeps the hengel from opening in the boiling water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Pour red pepper butter over the top and serve with garlic yogurt and sumac onions.
