Lazy chebureks without dough and pita bread: what else to replace the base in a meat dish

If you don't have enough time to prepare the dough, you can make chebureks from pita bread. But even if you don't have it at hand, there is also an alternative – classic thin pancakes. But an important point: to prevent the filling from falling out during frying, chebureks should be pre-breaded in flour and egg.

Food blogger Olga Golovina, who goes by olha.holovina, shared a recipe for pancake-based chebureks on her Instagram page.
