Mix flour, eggs, water, and salt to form a dough.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into small squares, about 2 inches each.

In a bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika.

Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough square.

Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly.

Bring the two corners of the triangle together to form a dumpling shape, pinching to seal.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.

In a skillet, melt butter and add red pepper flakes for flavor.

Drain the dumplings and serve topped with yogurt and the spiced butter.
