Pies made with kefir and soda (without yeast) do not always turn out as soft, airy as fluff, and fluffy as we would like. Especially if they are fried in a frying pan. Sometimes they taste like soda, don’t bake well, or don’t rise and remain flat. So what is the secret of delicious kefir pies? To prepare the perfect pie dough, you need to know 3 tricks: what kind of kefir is better to take and what to add to it so that the dough does not tear when modeling, and also when to put soda.

The secrets of delicious and airy kefir pies

1. Under no circumstances use low-fat kefir, otherwise the pies will turn out flat and will not rise. Kefir should be of maximum fat content, it is advisable to mix it with sour cream - the dough will remain moist for a long time and will not dry out.

1. It is better to take kefir not fresh, but “old”, almost expired - the older, the stronger it is, it contains a lot of lactic acid bacteria, and a large number of acid guarantees an active reaction with soda. Combining with an acidic environment, soda forms millions of bubbles, which will raise the dough and bake, making the pies fluffy and airy.

1. To prevent the dough from tearing when modeling, you need to add vegetable oil directly to it. It contains linolenic acid, which literally “glues” flour cells together.

1. Very important point- how to make sure that the pies do not taste like soda, and that the soda quickly and effectively raises the dough? Baking soda is added to the dough to loosen it and is self-quenched with kefir. The main thing is to correctly introduce it into the dough. You should not add it directly to kefir, since all carbon dioxide will end up in the air, but not in the dough. Add soda when the dough already contains half the flour. In this case, it will react with kefir and immediately begin to raise the flour.

Kefir dough for pies has a neutral taste, so it is suitable for both salty and sweet fillings. Having certain skills, working with it is not difficult, and the second or third time, sculpting will only take 5-10 minutes. The result is always excellent - the pies are airy, like fluff, large and fluffy, and remain soft on the second day after cooking.

Ingredients

• 3.2% kefir 250 ml
• 20% sour cream 2 tbsp. l.
• yolk 1 pc.
• salt 1 tsp.
• sugar 1 tbsp. l.
• flour 400 g
• soda 0.5 tsp.
• sunflower oil in the dough 1 tbsp. l.
• sunflower oil for frying 150 ml

How to make kefir pies

1. Shake the kefir well so that there are no lumps, pour it into a saucepan and mix with rich sour cream. Heat the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes to 30 °C - in the warmth, lactic acid bacteria become more active and better quench the soda so that its taste is not felt in the pies.
2. 
   Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the warm kefir-sour cream mixture into a deep bowl. Add salt, sugar, sunflower oil, and the yolk, previously shaken with a fork. Mix everything with a whisk.
3. 
   Then add half the flour (necessarily sifted), add baking soda, mix, and then add all the remaining flour.
4. 
   Dip your hands into vegetable oil and gather the sticky dough into a bun. Transfer it to a board sprinkled with flour and knead.
5. 
   Grease a bowl with vegetable oil and put the kneaded dough into it (we also grease it with a couple of drops of oil on top). Tighten the bowl cling film and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes - during this time the soda will have time to react and the pies will not have an unpleasant aftertaste.
6. 
   Grease the work surface with a small amount of vegetable oil. Dip your hands into the oil and, squeezing the dough between your thumb and forefinger, form it into balls the size of egg. Yield 11 pieces.
7. 
   We stretch the dough balls with our fingers, forming flat cakes with a diameter of 10 cm. Knead them so that the middle is a little thicker and the edges a little thinner. (It is convenient to work on a silicone mat or on a board sprinkled with flour.)
8. 
   Place the filling inside the cakes and form pies. We press them lightly so that the height is no more than 1 centimeter. The filling can be sweet or salty (I used potatoes with a dressing of fried onions and chopped green dill).
9. 
   We heat refined vegetable oil for frying - you need to take enough of it so that it reaches the middle of the dough products (approximately 150-170 ml). Place the pies in the pan, seam side down.
10. 
    Fry for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. It is better to take a frying pan with a thick bottom; it does not need to be covered with a lid; the heat should be moderate so that the pies do not burn, but are well baked.
11. 
    Place the finished pies on their side in a plate with a paper towel to remove all excess fat.

Serve the dish warm or cold. Ruddy and fluffy kefir pies bake perfectly, very soft and tasty.

You shouldn’t overdo it with flour; you can add a little later when you start forming the pies before starting the frying process.

In what order do we add the ingredients?

1. The egg is beaten first. Add sugar gradually.
2. Add kefir, salt and soda to the resulting mass.
3. Add flour to the mixture like this: add it using a tablespoon. At each stage of adding a portion of flour, we try to mix the resulting mass until it has a thick consistency. As a result, our dough is very similar to that required for making pancakes.

Secrets of kefir dough

Food prepared with kefir reacts very poorly to drafts, so we avoid them by closing the windows in the kitchen. It should not rest less than an hour, this is the time during which it will rise slightly.

To remove the dough from the container where you mixed the mixture, you need to take a tablespoon and take it out in portions for one pie, placing it on your hand, generously sprinkled with flour. We periodically moisten the spoon in ordinary water - this manipulation makes it easier to work with the dough. You need to flatten a portion of flour with your hand on your palm and put just enough filling so that the future pie has an organic appearance. We carefully wrap it, pinch the edges and carefully place it on the table, which should also be sprinkled with flour first.

Experienced housewives add very little vegetable oil to the dough - no more than 10 g.

Method of frying pies

Kefir pies in a frying pan. First of all, heat a frying pan with vegetable oil; it is usually poured to the level middle of the pie. Fry as usual, periodically turning on both sides, until golden brown. Remember that we make small pies: When frying, they tend to increase significantly in size.
