Step 11

Step 11
Mix the dough with a spoon

Step 12

Step 12
Our dough is ready — cover it with a towel and let it stand for a while while we make the filling — during this time the gluten in the flour will swell and the dough will become easy to work with

Step 19
We fasten the edges, flatten the resulting pie a little with our hands, and then place it on the table, seam side down.

Step 20

Step 20
We fry the pies in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil, and they fry quite quickly — literally 3-4 minutes on each side

Step 21

Step 21
Turn over and cook on the other side

Bon appetit!
