What kind of dough makes the most delicious fried pies: does not absorb a lot of oil

Homemade fried pies are a real taste of childhood. They can have sweet and savory fillings, very soft inside and crispy on top. However, it is important to make the right dough so that it does not absorb oil.

The idea of making fried pies with minced meat, onions, and cheese from kefir dough was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Yuliia Mikulich (yuliia_mikulich). You'll be done in no time.

Ingredients:

• eggs – 1 pc.
• sugar – 1/2 tbsp
• salt – 1/2 tsp
• kefir – 120 g
• oil – 1 tbsp
• soda – 1/2 tsp
• flour – 250 g

Ingredients for the filling:

• minced meat – 350 g
• onion – 100 g
• cheese

How to make the dough:

1. Combine the egg, sugar, salt, yogurt and oil. Beat the ingredients well with a whisk until smooth.

2. Add baking soda and mix well.

3. Then add the flour in parts and knead a homogeneous, non-sticky dough. You may need more or less flour.

4. First, form all the pies and then fry them, because you may not have time to form the next batch while the previous one is cooking.

5. Divide the dough into the required number of equal parts. Add flour if the dough is sticky.

6. Roll each part into a ball, and roll each into an oval.

7. Put the filling in the center, and form a pie.

8. Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Then turn up the heat to medium.

9. The pies should "float" in the oil and not touch the bottom at all.

10. Fry the patties over medium heat until golden brown, about 1.5 minutes on each side.

11. After cooking, put them on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
