Steps to make Ukrainian Vushka (Mushroom dumplings):
  1. Measure 2 cups of flour and place it in a large mixing bowl, making a well in the middle.
  2. Add the egg, salt, sour cream and butter into the well.
  3. Using a dough hook start mixing on low incorporating the flour into the wet ingredients, forming soft dough.
  4. Keep on adding the milk slowly into the mixture, until all used up. Add additional warm water if needed, to form a soft, sticky dough.
  5. Incorporate the remaining flour, until a soft and silky dough is formed. Do not over knead the dough, so it does not get tough.  It should feel like fresh pizza dough, but slightly softer.
  6. Once the dough has formed, cover it with a tea towel, and let it rest at least 15 minutes.
  7. In the meantime, grate all your mushrooms (in a food processor or by hand). Pour some olive oil in a pan on medium high heat. Saute the mushrooms until the water evaporates. Approximatey(5-7 minutes)
