Kastyby (the recipe will be discussed below) is a national dish of Bashkirs and Tatars, which is particularly easy to prepare. It is worth noting that, in the aggregate, such a hearty and tasty lunch is done within two and a half hours. Moreover, most of the time is spent on baking dry cakes.
Tasty and satisfying kastyby: a step by step recipe
Required ingredients for the dough:
- chicken small egg - 1 pc.;
- 2% acid kefir - 500 ml;
- odorless vegetable oil - 3 small spoons;
- iodized salt - 2-3 pinches;
- baking soda - 1 pinch;
- sifted wheat flour - from 1 kg (add to the dough until thick);
- fresh butter - 270 g (for coating finished cakes).
Base preparation process
The kastyby, whose recipe is very simple, should be started with thorough kneading of the dough. To do this, slightly warm 2% acid kefir, and then add a pinch of soda, iodized salt to it and break a small chicken egg. All ingredients must be whipped with a fork, and then add vegetable oil and sifted wheat flour to them.
The pastry dough recipe recommends laying out a floury bulk product until you get a tough dough that sticks well from your palms. After this, the base should be tightly wrapped in cling film and left it for half an hour aside. At the same time, you can do the cooking of potato filling. For her we need the following components:
- young potato tubers - 7-9 pcs.;
- allspice black - 1/3 dessert spoon;
- medium-sized chicken egg - 1 or 2 pcs.;
- fresh fat milk - 1 cup;
- butter (you can not add) - 50 g;
- table salt - add to water to taste.
Filling process
The kastyby recipe, whose photos you can find in this article, recommends using only hot mashed potatoes as the filling. After all, in a cooled form, such a side dish will be very difficult to distribute on a tortilla. Thus, it is necessary to boil a few tubers of the vegetable, and then mash them with egg, milk, butter and pepper.
Baking cakes
After the dough is a little suitable in cling film, it needs to be divided into many pieces, and then roll out thin circles into the size of a standard pan. They should be baked without oil for several minutes (until they dry and become rosy).
Dish formation
When all the ingredients are ready, you should take the cake, dip it completely in melted butter, and then distribute the mashed potatoes to 1 half and cover with the second part. By analogy, everything else is done.
How to serve to the table
The potato kastyby, the recipe of which we examined, is served for dinner in a warm state along with ketchup and sweet tea.
Useful tips for housewives
- To make kysbyby (the name of this Asian dish is pronounced so correctly) is possible not only with mashed potatoes, but also with millet porridge.
- To prevent ready-made dry cakes to become stiff, after baking they should be laid out in a stack and immediately covered with a large terry towel.
- To make kastyby more flavorful, it is recommended to pour a little dried basil and thyme into the oil during melting.
