These are my favorite fried pies – my grandma used to cook these, and I was always amazed how such simple combination of ingredients can produce such tasty pies.
These are type of russian pies (piroshki or pyrizhky) – dough dumplings stuffed with green onions and hard boiled eggs and then fried on a skillet.
Again, you can use ready-to-go dough, or prepare dough yourself, for this recipe you would need about half of the batch prepare for unsweetened yeast dough.
Ingredients:
- Not sweet yeast dough (see recipe)
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 2 bunches of green onion
- Small bunch of dill
- Butter
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Oil
