Ingredients
- Butter 5 oz
- Light Beer 1 cup

- Sour Cream 5 tablespoons
- Carrot 1 piece
- Egg white 1 piece

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In melted butter, pour in the beer and gradually sift in the flour (3 cups). Add salt and spices to taste. I used dried dill. Knead the dough — it should be soft and not stick to your hands. The dough is ready! Pinch off a piece the size of a fist, and immediately flatten the rest in a form, cover with plastic wrap, and send to the refrigerator for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 2
Mix the egg and sour cream. Just whisk it with a whisk. Add salt and flour (1.5 tablespoons). It's ready!
Step 3
Shred the slightly boiled chicken into fibers, chop the small carrot and small onion. Place everything on the cooled dough and pour our egg-sour cream mixture over it. Carefully level it with a fork to ensure everything is in the sauce.
Step 4
Take the remaining piece of dough, divide it into 3 parts. Each part into two more. Roll them into ropes. Then twist two ropes around each other to create beautiful braids!
Step 5
Brush the pie with egg yolk or butter and send it to a preheated oven at 355°F for 40 minutes. If it browns during this time, turn off the heat and leave the pie for another 5 to 7 minutes.
