- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, water, egg, and salt until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together ground pork, ground beef, onion, garlic, marjoram, black pepper, breadcrumbs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into 2-inch circles using a dumpling cutter or knife.
4. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook for 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface.
6. In a separate pan, melt the butter and add the sour cream. Cook over low heat until heated through.
