Barefoot, flour snowstorm on the counter. I roll dough paper-thin, it glows like sunrise. Juicy lamb + pumpkin mix smells insane, my fingers fly, little moons sealed with a twist. Steamer hisses, manty puff up fat and happy. Ten minutes later, golden dumplings glisten, steam curls like perfume. First bite, hot broth bursts, I close my eyes and whisper “whew” ♡ Heaven in pleats.
