Slow-Rise Meat Vareniki with Sour Cream

Method

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, egg, milk, salt, and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
3. While the dough rises, prepare the meat filling by mixing ground beef or pork, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Roll out the risen dough and cut into circles. Fill each with meat mixture.
5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the vareniki for 5-7 minutes until they float.
6. In a pan, melt butter and add sour cream. Serve with the cooked vareniki.
7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
