Fried buns with sauerkraut
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. These fried cabbage turnovers can be made not only with yeast dough, but also with puff or non-yeast dough. It's better to fry the turnovers in a generous amount of vegetable oil so that the sides become nicely browned, then blot them with paper towel. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1
1. The first step is to prepare the dough. To do this, slightly warm the milk and add yeast and sugar to it. Mix thoroughly until the yeast starts dissolving. Add a pinch of salt, vegetable oil, and gradually sift in the flour. To ensure the fried cabbage buns turn out soft when cooked at home, it's important not to overwork the dough with too much flour. Once ready, cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for some time.
