Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Take a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and sugar, and pour in the water. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency. Now add a couple of drops of vinegar. This is done to make the dough very soft and airy. (If you are preparing a treat for a child, add a bit of food coloring; this will make your balls colorful and fun.)
Step 2
Next, shape the prepared dough into balls, flatten them into discs, place the filling in the center, and then reshape them into balls again.
Step 3
Final step. Place the balls in the microwave, cover with plastic wrap, and heat for four to five minutes. Then allow to cool completely before serving.
