Knead the flour, egg, water, and salt into a firm dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Mix the ground beef with the grated onion, salt, and black pepper to make the filling.
Roll the dough out thinly, cut it into small squares, fill the centers, and seal them.
Boil in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes.
Prepare the garlic yogurt and heat the butter with the red pepper flakes.
Transfer the dumplings to a plate and spoon over the yogurt and spiced butter.
💡 Tip: The smaller the dumplings are, the more traditional the result feels, so patience really pays off here.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plenty of garlic yogurt and the warm butter sauce.
