Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. If the Year of the Horse is approaching, I suggest making "Horse" buns—very original pastries filled with suluguni cheese and hard-boiled egg. These buns will become a real highlight of your festive table and will especially delight children! If desired, you can prepare these buns with a different filling—for example, add a bit of ham for extra flavor. Be sure to warn your guests that the black peppercorns used for the eyes should not be eaten. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

4. Make a cut between the horse's ears. Fold the cut to the back side of the pie. Roll the dough into a 3 mm thick circle, cut it into 4 pieces, then cut each piece into strips—these will be the mane.
