Mix ground meat, grated onion, black pepper, and salt in a bowl until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, water, and eggs to form a dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Roll out the dough thinly and cut into small squares.

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

Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, then pinch the edges to seal.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float.

In a separate pot, heat butter over medium heat and stir in garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant.

Serve the dumplings hot, drizzled with the garlic butter and a dollop of yogurt on top.
