Preparation Steps

• Combine the feta cheese, hot sauce, and one egg in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined; set aside.
• Combine the flour and sour cream in your mixer's bowl; mix with the dough hook until you have a soft ball of dough. If too wet, add a tablespoon of flour, if too dry, add more sour cream, one tablespoon at a time.
• Lightly flour your working station and turn out the dough.
• Roll out the dough to a 0.25-inch thickness. Use several passes to roll it to the desired thickness. Don't try to flatten it with just one pass.
• Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into 20 rounds, rerolling the scraps as needed.
• Place filling into the center of each round and fold in half, closing the edges with the tines of a fork. Be sure all edges are sealed.
• In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil to 350˚F.
• Place 2 to 3 dumplings in the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until they float to the top and the edges start to brown; flip and cook for another minute or two, or until completely browned.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Serve the dumplings plain or with sour cream, caramelized onions, or salsa.
