Short answer (105 words):

Dear Matt,

I hope you are well. In your last email, you asked me about a traditional dish in my country. I would like to tell you about pelmeni. They are small dumplings filled with minced meat, onions and spices. First, we make a dough from flour, water and an egg. Then we put the filling inside, close the dough and boil the pelmeni in salted water for several minutes. They are usually served hot with sour cream, butter or fresh herbs. Pelmeni are very tasty, juicy and filling. They are popular in Russia, and families often prepare them together at weekends.

Best wishes,
[Name]
