Delicious pastries made with kefir
Description
The baking is simple and quick. For the buns, you'll need kefir, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Since I make my own baking powder, I'm sure the buns will turn out excellent! If you have homemade sour kefir, it's better to add half a teaspoon of baking soda—the reaction will be great, producing lots of bubbles in the dough. Now, about the filling: choose whatever you like. This amount of filling is just right for the dough quantity, and I fill the buns generously, without skimping. Check out the recipe, give it a try, and share your impressions. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.
