How to fry pasties
Products
Wheat flour – 4 cups for the dough and 1/4 cup for sprinkling
Minced meat from pork and beef – half a kilo
Onions – 4 heads of medium size
Dill – 1 small bunch
Water for the dough – 1.3 cups
Water for the filling – 1 cup
Black ground pepper – 1 teaspoon
Salt – 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (corn or sunflower
) – 1.25
cups into a bowl. Pour a third of a tablespoon of salt into the flour and mix well.
Add a quarter cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of hot water to the mixture and mix well with a tablespoon. When the dough becomes too dense to knead, sprinkle the table with flour and knead (this is “knead”) the dough from all sides on the table.
When the dough becomes homogeneous (after 5 minutes of kneading), put it in a bowl, cover and leave at room temperature for half an hour to make the dough even more homogeneous and elastic.
Preparation of the filling
Minced meat, if frozen, defrost, drain the liquid from it and put in a bowl, slightly mash.
Peel and finely chop the onion (as an option, you can chop it with a meat grinder). Wash the dill, dry and finely chop.
Add the onion, two thirds of a tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 1 cup of water.
Mix well the minced meat for the filling of chebureks.
Formation of chebureks Knead the
dough again, roll into a sausage and cut into identical circles. Put the circles in a bag so that they do not dry out.
Sprinkle the work surface with flour.
Roll each circle with a rolling pin into a thin circle 2-3 mm thick.
Put 1 tablespoon of minced meat on one half of the dough, spread over the entire surface of the half of the dough (not counting the tips that will need to be pinched).
Lubricate the edges of the dough for chebureks with water so that they stick together better. Cover one half of the dough with the other and pinch with a fork – from 1 and the other side. Put the formed pasties on a work surface sprinkled with flour, at a small distance from each other. Because pasties take up quite a lot of space, it is recommended to use plastic bags as a spacer in a stack of raw pasties.
