- Combine all dough ingredients in a bowl and mix with hands. If mixture is too crumbly, add more milk a tablespoon at a time. If mixture is too moist, add more flour a tablespoon at a time. The dough should be able to be shaped into a ball and not stick to your fingers.
- Wrap ball of dough in plastic wrap, and set aside.
- Prepare desired fillings.
- Using a teaspoon for a measure, roll mixture into balls (potato filling) and set aside.
- On the stove, fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a steady boil.
- Roll out dough until it is thin (1/16th of an inch thick). Using a round biscuit cutter, cut dough into circles. Sticky side towards the ceiling, place one ball in the center of the dough and seal edges with your fingers. Using a fork, go over the edges of the sealed dough to seal the edges.
- Repeat until all are made.
