Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Ingredients. For the dough, I used quail eggs, since I simply didn’t have chicken eggs.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the flour with salt, sugar and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor, add the diced butter and grind the mixture until crumbly.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sour cream and egg.

Step 4

Step 4
Knead soft dough. Roll the finished dough into a ball and leave to rest.

Step 5

Step 5
Ingredients for filling.

Step 6

Step 6
Finely chop the onion, cut the potatoes into small cubes.

Step 7

Step 7
Remove the meat from the bones and cut it into small cubes. Instead of a leg, you can use fillet, but, for my taste, it turns out a little dry.

Step 8

Step 8
In a bowl, mix onions, potatoes and chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. By the way, some write that the filling for such pies is not mixed, but laid out in layers separately, but I don’t feel the difference, and you do what’s most convenient for you.

Step 9

Step 9
Divide the dough into pairs of koloboks. We make one larger bun, weighing about 80 g (depending on what size the pies should be), and the second bun, two or three times smaller, weighing 25 g.

Step 10

Step 10
Roll out a large bun (this is our base). Place the filling in the center.

Step 11

Step 11
Roll out the bun into smaller ones and cover them with the filling. We connect the edges and form a round pie.

Step 12

Step 12
Brush the resulting pies with egg and place in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30-40 minutes.
