Authentic Tatar beef belyash
Description
Delicious pastries for the whole family. Whenever I visited the Crimean Peninsula, I often passed by kiosks selling Crimean pastries. I have warm memories of Tatar cuisine dishes. They are incredibly tasty. I used to think I could never make them at home, but it turned out I was wrong. A good, reliable recipe plus the desire to create work wonders. Now you know too. Can be served with tea or coffee.

Step 2
Sift the flour into a bowl. Grate the frozen butter on a coarse grater. Add a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of sugar. The sugar is added for flavor. Beat the egg and add it to the dough. Pour in the kefir and knead the dough.

Step 4
For the filling, take ground meat. You can use only beef, or a mix (50/50 pork/beef). Add salt, spices, finely diced onion, and potato to the meat.

Step 5
Divide the dough into several pieces. I ended up with 9. The dough turns out so non-sticky that it doesn't even adhere to the board. I didn't use any extra flour.

Step 6
Roll out each piece into a thin pancake.

Step 7
Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of the crepe. Spread it so that the filling does not extend beyond the edges of the crepe.

Step 8
Gather the edges of the pancake to form a bun-like shape with a hole in the center. Secure the edges well. This shaping method is called "skirt," where the dough edges are gathered like a skirt and tightly sealed. This same technique is used to shape manty.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the prepared belyashi on the sheet. Pour 1 tablespoon of boiled water into each hole. Add 5-10 g of butter into each hole. Brush the belyashi with beaten egg. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake the belyashi for about 40 minutes.
