Deep Fried Pelmeni
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? I wasn't just extremely preoccupied with real life for the past few weeks months.. I was just testing this theory. Okay, lies. All lies. I was totally preoccupied with real life but I'm back now and look what I brought with me!! Some things are just worth the wait. Deep fried pelmeni are among those things.I absolutely LOVE this time of year for so many reasons. Everyone is all cheerful and sipping peppermint everythings. We're not sick of the cold yet and all our winter accessories are still exciting to wear and not yet lost. Hat pom poms are still firmly attached and pleasantly poofy. And it is culturally acceptable to fry anything and everything in sight.
Ingredients
1 package frozen Pelmeni, thawed
1 cup flour
2 eggs
2 cups flavored breadcumbs
Oil for frying
Marinara sauce for dipping
Preparation
Prepare a breading station by placing flour in a bowl. Crack the eggs into the next bowl and beat them. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Working with one at a time, coat each pelmeni in flour then egg and finally in breadcrumbs pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off excess.
Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a pot.
Carefully place the breaded pelmeni into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until deep golden brown and the meat inside is cooked through.
Serve with warm marinara sauce.
