Mix flour and salt in a large bowl.

Create a well in the center and add eggs and water.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Finely chop onion and garlic, then sauté in butter until translucent.

Combine sautéed onion and garlic with ground meat, season with black pepper.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the dough into circles using a glass or cutter.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
