Tastier than pies and pizza: crispy and easy chebureks

Chebureks are a hearty pastry that you prepare with minced meat, cottage cheese, hard cheese, and herbs for the filling. To make the dough successful, add water and melted butter.

Cook Victoria shared a recipe for crispy chebureks with meat filling, which are cooked very quickly, on Instagram.

Ingredients:

• cold water - 250 ml
• salt - 1 tsp
• butter - 150 g
• flour - 550 g

The filling:

• meat - 300-350 g
• onion - 100 g
• spices: salt, pepper - to taste,
• milk
• vegetable oil

Method of preparation:

1. Melt and cool the butter. Pour salt and 4 tbsp of flour into cold water, add oil and stir with a spoon until smooth. Gradually sift in the remaining flour and knead a soft, elastic dough that does not stick to your hands. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, fold it into three layers, roll it out again into a rectangle, and then fold it into four layers. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-1.5 hours.

3. For the filling, pass the meat and onion through the meat grinder. Add spices and milk and mix until smooth.

4. Divide the chilled dough into 16 pieces and form a ball from each piece. Thinly roll the ball into a circle, put the minced meat on half of it, and pinch the edges well.

5. Fry in well-heated vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown.

Serve hot with sour cream!
