Cabbage pies
Description
Pies “Sigary” are very easy to make. The dough consists of only three ingredients. It mixes quickly, works wonderfully, and doesn’t stick to the table or hands. No need to add extra flour. It is sufficiently pliable, and rolling it very thin will not be a special effort. The thinner you roll the dough, the more layered and crumbly the pies will turn out. The filling can be made from stewed fresh cabbage or stewed sauerkraut. Baking time depends on your oven. For some it takes 20–30 minutes. It took me almost 40 minutes.
