Make Your Own Dumpling Dough and Be Amazed by the Result!

Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. You can sift the flour to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother texture.

Incorporate the butter: Add the cold butter to the flour and, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, mix until the dough appears sandy, with small pieces of butter still visible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy dough.

Add the water: Gradually pour in the cold water (and the egg, if you’re using it) while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands. The amount of water can vary slightly, so add just enough for the dough to come together without becoming sticky.

Knead: Place the dough on a clean, flat surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and homogenous. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more water, but be careful not to overdo it so it doesn’t become sticky.

Let it rest: Wrap the dough in a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough relax, making it easier to roll out.

Roll and cut: Once rested, divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion with a rolling pin until you achieve circles of your desired size. If you prefer larger or smaller dumplings, adjust the size of the circles accordingly.
