Pelmeni (пельмени in Russian, singular pel’men’, пельмень; пяльмені pyal’meni in Belarusian; пилмән(нәр) pilmän(när) in Tatar) are a national Eastern European (mainly Russian) ish - consisting of a filling that is wrapped in thin dough. The dough is usually made from flour and eggs, sometimes with milk or water added. The filling can be minced meat: pork, lamb, beef, or any other kind of meat can be used, and mixing several kinds of meat is popular. Fish, cabbage, potato, and cheese are also popular fillings. The traditional Ural recipe requires a mixture of 45% beef, 35% mutton, and 20% pork. Often various spices, such as pepper and onions, are mixed into the filling.
