Bursak
Description
Actually, there are quite a few recipes for bursak, depending on the region where it's prepared. I make bursak using one particular recipe I found long ago in a note: with kefir and no milk. The kefir must be cold. This makes the bursak very light and airy. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
