Chebureki
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. Of course, it’s easier and faster to make chebureks of the usual size, but sometimes, for example for a festive table or a buffet, you need to prepare snack‑size “Mini” chebureks that taste and look like the regular ones, only in miniature dimensions. These chebureks will definitely please children. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
