• •1 tbsp schmaltz or oil
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1/2 tsp kosher salt
• •6 cups clear chicken broth, for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the dough by mixing the flour, eggs, water, salt, and oil until a smooth dough forms. Knead briefly, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   For the filling, sauté the chopped onion in schmaltz or oil until soft, then add the ground meat and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper and cool completely.

3. 3

   Roll the dough out thinly on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 3-inch squares.

4. 4

   Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square.

5. 5

   Fold each square into a triangle and pinch the edges firmly to seal. If needed, moisten the edges with a little water.

6. 6

   Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the kreplach in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, until they rise and the dough is tender.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth in a separate pot.

8. 8

   Transfer the cooked kreplach to the hot broth and serve immediately.
