Step 1

Mix ground beef, onion, salt, pepper, egg, bread crumbs, sour cream, and butter together with hands. Form into golf ball-sized balls. Set aside.

Step 2

Make dumpling dough by mashing or grating the potatoes. Add cream of wheat, salt, and eggs.

Step 3

Work in enough flour to make a thick dough.

Step 4

Form into large rope. Cut into pieces the size of golf balls, or large enough to fit around the hamburger balls.

Step 5

Flatten each piece of dough.

Step 6

Place hamburger ball in center. Bring ends up around the meat, sealing well.

Step 7

Drop into boiling salted water and cook for 20 minutes.

Remove from water and place in a shallow, well-buttered baking pan. The dumplings stick very easily so be sure to use plenty of butter in baking pan.

Step 9

Spread sour cream over each dumpling.
