Pan-fried pies often turn out greasy. To prevent this from happening, you need to make the dough correctly. The best solution is to use the following technology.

The idea of preparing the perfect crispy dough for fried pies was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Tamara with the nickname tomka recepti. You can put potatoes or cabbage inside.

2. Add the flour gradually and knead the dough for 10 minutes. It should not stick to your hands.

3. Leave the dough for 1-1.5 hours to rise.

4. For the filling, boil the potatoes until tender, reserve the water for the dough.

5. Chop the onion, and fry in butter or oil until golden brown.

6. Add dill to the potatoes, and mash until smooth.

7. For the cabbage filling, fry onions and carrots in vegetable oil, add finely chopped cabbage, salt, pepper, paprika, and fry until tender under the lid. The filling is ready.

8. When the dough has risen, divide it into 80 g per pie on a scale.
