Take the pieces and an a floured surface use a rolling pin to roll the cubes into thin round pieces. Fill the center of the dough with a portion of the meat mixture and then fold dough over the top. Pinch sides closed and then fold corners back around and pinch together to seal everything. Set aside on floured surface until finished with all the pieces.

Add a small amount of salt to a pan of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Add the Pelmeni to the boiling water and cook covered until the dough is softened and the meat inside is cooked. 15-20 minutes. Uncooked pelmeni can be stored in the freezer for some time and then added directly to boiling water to prepare.

The Pelmeni should be served hot and are best when a small amount of vinegar is poured over them. The water used to boil the pelmeni can then be consumed as a soup.
