How to make crispy and golden homemade pasties: add one important ingredient to the dough

Chebureks are a dish that many people associate with home warmth and comfort. The most important thing is to make the dough correctly so that it does not absorb oil and turns out crispy and golden.

The idea of making golden and crispy pasties was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Kateryna with the nickname recepty przepisy. The constant ingredient that makes the dough crispy is vodka.

Ingredients:

• flour - 400 g
• salt without a slide - 1 tsp
• boiling water - 200 g
• vegetable oil - 40 g
• vodka - 20 g

Ingredients for the filling:

• minced meat - 300 g
• salt
• pepper
• onion - 1 large
• garlic - 1-2 cloves
• cold water - 100 g

How to make the dough:

1. Add salt to the sifted flour and stir with a spoon.

2. Make a well in the middle, pour in boiling water, oil, and vodka, and stir the dough with a spoon.
