It might be because of too much flour in the dough (as you mentioned flour may be a bit "funny", are you using all purpose flour?) - it will also make dough stiff after dumplings are boiled. Try either reducing flour, or use a bit of kefir instead of portion of water when making dough. Or you can water inside edges of the dough circle when making a dumpling it will help it to be sticky.I was born in Ukraine (the USSR's republic a that time), so that is why I know about traditional food of Ukraine, and Russia, and some others parts of USSR. I will have a recipe for Hala on one of upcoming saturdays (have pictures already, just need to process them and write the recipe up). Hala is yeast poppy seed sweet bread-like baking thing, you can also make it as hala rolls :). I never did Paska to be honest, maybe one day...
