Student Pies with Cabbage
Baking and Desserts • Russian
Description
These hefty crescent-shaped pies are aptly named student pies — they require only flour, water, eggs, and, of course, cabbage. The stiff dough is rolled out to paper-thinness, and a fluffy filling is made by mixing a separately cooked egg white omelet. As suggested in the recipe, the pies can be browned in the oven, or they can be deep-fried — then the pies will resemble a cheburek with a crispy, bubbly crust.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour 20 oz
- Water 10 fl oz
- Egg white 9 pieces
- White Cabbage ½ head
- Chicken Egg 1 piece
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Boil the chopped cabbage with tarragon and salt until tender, mix the egg whites with salt, heat a non-stick skillet, pour in the egg whites, and cover on low heat until a thin egg white pancake forms. Cut the 'omelet' and mix it with the cabbage, adding more salt if needed.
Step 2
Knead elastic dough from flour and water, roll it out, and cut out circles using a plate. It’s better to roll the dough thicker at first and then roll out the cut circles. Place a spoonful of filling on each circle, pinch the edges, and place the pies on a baking sheet lined with foil. Prick each pie several times with a knife (a fork is inconvenient) and brush with egg.
Step 3
Bake in a preheated oven on low heat. It’s best to check them frequently — as soon as the bottom side is browned, they need to be flipped.
