I recently discovered a recipe for choux pastry in milk for dumplings and dumplings, I found it on a Polish culinary website. Now I cook it only according to this recipe. The dough is easy to work with, it practically does not stick to the rolling pin and hands, while remaining elastic and obedient.
I prepare food according to the list.
First, I make mushroom stuffing for dumplings. Defrost mushrooms, scroll through a meat grinder.
I cut the peeled onion into cubes.
I fry the onion in vegetable oil until golden brown.
Add chopped mushrooms, salt and black pepper to taste to the onion in the pan.
I mix the mushroom mass, fry for about 20 minutes over medium heat.
I'm sifting flour. I separate the proteins from the yolks (the proteins will not be useful to us). I add salt, butter at room temperature, yolks to the flour.
I add boiling milk.
I knead the dough, put it in a bag and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
I take 1/3 of the dough, roll it out thinly. When working with the dough, it is practically not necessary to use flour for dusting, just a little bit.
I cut out circles with a thin glass.
I spread the filling on each circle of dough.
I make dumplings. Thus, I cook dumplings with mushrooms from the rest of the dough.
In a saucepan I bring water with salt to a boil, put half of the dumplings into it, mix.
After the dumplings float to the top, cook them for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
At this time, I am preparing the frying - I bring the diced onion in vegetable oil to a golden color.
I take the dumplings out of the water and into a bowl.
I sprinkle them with fried onions.
Then I cook the second part of the dumplings. Mushroom dumplings are ready!
I serve them with sour cream.
Good appetite!
Mushrooms are able to give any dish a unique taste and aroma. The dishes in which they serve as the basis are loved by many. And among them are dumplings with mushrooms.
Cooking features
Experienced housewives will spend no more than an hour preparing a dinner of dumplings with mushrooms, even if they have to use forest mushrooms for this. A novice cook may need a little more time, but he will also get a delicious dish if he knows the features of the technology for its creation.
- As a filling for dumplings with mushrooms, you can use champignons, porcini mushrooms, honey mushrooms and others. However, they must be prepared depending on which category they belong to. Some mushrooms need to be soaked beforehand, and almost all forest mushrooms need to be boiled until cooked before being put into the stuffing. Champignons and porcini mushrooms are good because they are lightly fried enough, after which you can already stuff dumplings with them.
- For the filling, you can use not only fresh mushrooms, but also frozen and dried ones. If you decide to use a frozen product, you must first defrost the mushrooms and wait for the excess liquid to drain from them. Dried mushrooms need to be filled with water and wait until they restore their size (swell).
- Dough matters a lot. If it is hard, dumplings will not be very pleasant to eat. However, too tender dough may break during cooking, which will also not improve the taste and appearance of the finished dish. In order to make a good dough, you should know a few secrets. First, the flour must be sifted. Secondly, vegetable oil can be added to the dough for elasticity. Thirdly, the test must be given the opportunity to "rest". If you take into account all three points, the dough will turn out soft, but elastic, the dumplings will retain their shape.
- Dumplings with mushrooms are steamed or boiled in water. Most often, the second method is used. So that dumplings do not stick together, they are dipped into boiling water, and not all at once, but one at a time. They need to be cooked in plenty of water. A wide-bottomed pot works best for this.
- Vareniki with mushrooms can stick together even after cooking. To prevent this from happening, grease them with butter or sour cream immediately after you take them out of the pan.

Vareniki with mushrooms
Ingredients
- Champignons (500 g)
- Onion (1 pc.)
- Wheat flour (4 tbsp.)
- Chicken egg (1 pc.)
- Sunflower oil (5 tablespoons)
- Water (1 cup)

Cooking
Mushrooms, like a sponge, absorb water very easily and quickly. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not wash the mushrooms before starting cooking, but wipe them with a damp cloth or simply peel them with a sharp knife. Then finely chop the peeled mushrooms and put them in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil.
Peel the onion and cut it into small pieces. When the mushrooms in the pan decrease in size and acquire a golden crust, add the onion to them, mix and salt to taste. We spread the finished filling in a separate plate. There, the mushrooms will drain enough from excess oil and cool.
Prepare the dough for dumplings. To do this, sift the flour into a deep bowl, add water, egg and salt. Mix everything and whisk. This dough should be pretty tough. Form the dough into a convenient form for storage, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for about half an hour.
The basis for future dumplings can be prepared in several ways. Choose the most convenient for you. The whole dough can be divided into several small parts and rolled out one by one on the countertop, cutting out the shapes with a glass. You can also roll parts of the dough into sausages, cut them into small pieces and roll each one separately. Put a teaspoon of mushroom filling in the middle of the finished roundels.
Gently bring the edges of the dumpling together and wrap the dough or press it tightly with your fingers, as shown in the photo. If this is not strong enough, then during the cooking process the dumpling may come apart. Sprinkle the finished dumplings with flour and put in the freezer. Or cook right away.
Boil a little salty water in a saucepan and send dumplings there. They are prepared quickly, within 7-10 minutes. As soon as they float, you can take it out with a slotted spoon and serve with chopped herbs and sour cream. Vareniki with champignon mushrooms are ready.

How to cook dumplings with potatoes and champignon mushrooms
To prepare unleavened dough, pour water into a deep bowl, beat in an egg, add a full pinch of salt and shake the mass thoroughly with a fork.
Then, adding the sifted flour, knead a tight, but rather soft unleavened dough. Not all flour may be required, the main thing is not to score the dough. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to roll out and sculpt dumplings, and the taste of finished dumplings, of course, will suffer. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 40 minutes.
For the potato-mushroom filling, finely chop the mushrooms and fry them until tender along with the onions. Before turning off, add the mushroom mass and lightly pepper.
In parallel with the frying of the mushrooms, boil the peeled potatoes until crumbly. Water when cooking potatoes should be salted to taste. When the potato tubers are soft, drain the water completely and mash the potatoes until a dry and crumbly puree is obtained.
Combine still hot mashed potatoes with mushroom frying and mix well. Everything, the filling for homemade dumplings is ready, now it only needs to cool down.
Knead the rested dough again, getting a ball of soft and elastic dough. Cut off a small part and roll out the unleavened dough into a thin layer. Then, with a glass, squeeze out rounds with a diameter of 7.5-8.5 cm on the resulting layer.
In the center of each round, spread an incomplete tablespoon of potato and mushroom filling.
Then, holding the filling, bring the edges of the dough together and carefully squeeze them with your fingers. You can leave the dumplings in this form, or you can wrap the glued edges with a curly pigtail, then dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms will take on an original look. Collect all the leftover dough (after cutting out the circles) together and use it the next time you roll it out.
How to cook dumplings and how long?
Gently lower the formed dumplings into boiling salted water, stir with a spoon so as not to stick. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, they should float and the dough will change color and texture a little. Ready dumplings are taken out of the water of the skimmers so that the excess liquid is glassed, and, brushed with ghee or regular butter, serve, accompanied by thick sour cream. You can additionally sprinkle dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms with chopped herbs.
Tips for the hostess:

Some restaurants also add fried bacon to the fried onions. Try this serving, we assure you it will be delicious even for those who do not really like onions.
- We prepared dumplings with mashed potatoes and champignon mushrooms. As you understand, these mushrooms can be replaced with oyster mushrooms, forest or frozen mushrooms, pre-cooked mushrooms.
