Sweet fried pies with berries: what kind of dough to use

To avoid bothering with baking sweet pies, you can fry them. But to do this, you need to make a good dough so that it is fluffy and does not absorb oil. The best option is to use kefir.

The idea of making sweet fried pies with kefir was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Valeria with the nickname valerikiry. Berries are perfect for the filling.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, kefir, sugar, salt, oil and add to the flour or make a well.
