Belyashi from cottage cheese dough
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. One important nuance of belyashi made from cottage cheese dough is that they must be fried over very low heat. Important! Start frying each belyash from the side with the “little window.” That way the meat filling seals shut and the juices will not run out. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
