Pirozhki with vodka
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. Dough with alcohol added always turns out well. The alcoholic base can vary, from spirits to beer. But if you use spirits, the minimum amount is one teaspoon and the maximum is one tablespoon. The weaker the alcohol, the more you can use within these amounts. From this dough you can make pies with any filling, sausages baked in dough, or sweet buns. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
