We really liked this dish! It looks so unusual, but it tastes just delicious! Like a pie, only inside there is not a filling, but a whole leg. It is delicious both hot and cold.
This recipe can be varied. Cut the dough not into strips, but into squares. As a filling, add a couple of spoonfuls of mashed potatoes to the shin. Place the legs themselves vertically and wrap the dough around them in the form of a bag. You don't need a side dish for such a dish!

In addition to the purchased one, you can also use your own dough. The recipe for homemade puff pastry for this baking you can choose in this directory .

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
