Quick pies fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry quick pies in a frying pan? First prepare the dough. How to make dough? In a deep bowl, pour kefir at room temperature, vegetable oil, and beat in a chicken egg. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Add sugar and salt, baking powder (or soda on the tip of a knife, slaked with vinegar).

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix the ingredients. Pour in the sifted wheat flour. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the dough will turn out to be airy and will rise well when frying. Flour may be required for kneading the dough a little more or less, depending on its quality and density. But it is important not to clog the dough with flour, so add it in parts, kneading after each serving.

3. Step 3:

   

   Knead a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Put it in a bag and leave it on the table for half an hour to rest. This should be done so that the gluten in the flour swells, and the dough becomes more manageable and elastic.

4. Step 4:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the pies. I have a meat one, made of minced pork and beef. But any other filling to taste is also quite suitable: potato, cabbage, cabbage with mushrooms or rice with egg, green onion with egg. Ready-made or self-made minced meat with salt and pepper to taste, add finely chopped onion, pour in a little water for juiciness. Mix the mass.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the finished dough on a table dusted with flour, roll it into a thick bundle, which cut into 10 pieces. Roll out each piece into a not very thin tortilla, put a little meat filling in the center of each.

7. Step 6:

   

   Fasten the edges of the pie, you can give it any shape, for example, triangular for a change.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, heat it well. Put the preheated pies on the preheated oil, leaving a small space between them. Fry the pies on one side over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Then turn the pies over and fry them until browned on the second side. Cover the pan with a lid and keep them on the fire for about 5 more minutes so that the meat filling is well fried. Remove the finished pies from the pan onto a plate lined with a paper napkin so that excess oil is absorbed into it.
