Braided pastries
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Priazhenie is one of the oldest types of frying in Russian cuisine. It means frying in a large amount of oil. In this method the product does not “float” in the oil, but contacts the bottom of the pan. The word “to fry” was not known in those distant times and this kind of heat treatment of dishes was called priazhenie. These are the kind of pies we will make today Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
