Step 1
Finely chop the 1/2 onion and mix with the 1/2 pound ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center of each of the 24 dumpling wrappers. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook until they float and are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
In a small pan, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until it sizzles, then stir in the 1 teaspoon paprika and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Drain the dumplings and divide among plates. Top with the 1 cup yogurt and drizzle with the spiced butter. Serve warm.
