Dough is prepared from the listed ingredients. But you also need filling. The most popular option is apple jam. It is universal, it can be said, because it is sweet, but not sugary and without a specific taste, such as quince. Jam will need 350 grams.
Step-by-step cooking instructions
If all the ingredients are ready, then you can proceed. You need to start by making dough for jam pies. The sequence is as follows:
- In a bowl, combine the egg with kefir. By the way, it can be replaced with low-fat sour cream.
- Sift flour together with baking powder / soda into a separate container, sprinkle with salt.
- The resulting loose mixture begins to slowly add to the egg-kefir mass, stirring.
- Knead lightly. Add pre-melted butter.
- Start kneading the dough quickly. It is better to do this on a table pre-sprinkled with flour.
- When you get a ball with a dense texture, you need to let it stand for 5 minutes.
Then the dough needs to be rolled out. The thickness of the final layer should be 3-4 mm. It is necessary to cut circles out of it. The approximate diameter should be 12 cm.
On each of them put two teaspoons of jam. Pinch the edges and give each lump a pie shape. You need to fry them over medium heat. It will take a lot of oil. The pies, being in the pan, should be half drowned in it. This is important for even cooking.
Cook jam pies until golden brown on both sides. At first it is recommended to put them with the seam down. When the treat is ready, you need to put each pie on paper napkins - they absorb excess oil. Then, for beauty, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Cooking dough
Yeast pies with jam are also made simply, only according to other principles. The sequence is as follows:
- In warm milk, you need to dilute the yeast, sugar and a little flour (150 g).
- Beat the egg separately, sprinkle with salt. Then pour it into the yeast billet.
- Add oil.
- Gradually start adding the remaining flour. It is important to do this slowly, constantly stirring the resulting mass.
- Grease your hands with butter and start kneading the dough.
- Put the resulting ball in a separate clean, slightly dusted container. Cover it with a bag, leaving a small space with air - an emerging test needs space.
- After half an hour, knead the ball and leave it for another 30 minutes in a bowl under the film.
After the time has passed, the dough should be divided into equal lumps, give them an oval shape and send to a board sprinkled with flour. Cover with a towel and forget about them for 15 minutes.
Pie making and cooking
Each circle must be taken and turned into a cake, gently stretching the dough with your fingers from the center to the edges.
In the center of each billet, put two tablespoons of jam. Jam may come in, by the way. Next, we must act on the principle already mentioned above - to form a pie from each cake.
You need to pinch the edges well. If it’s bad to glue them together, then the filling will flow out. It may even burn.
Before sending jam pies to the oven, you need to prepare a baking sheet - cover it with paper, which then will need to be greased with oil. Workpieces must be laid out at a small distance from each other. Because during the baking process in the oven, pies with jam will “grow”. They must not touch each other.
Also, before sending them to cook, it is recommended to beat an egg with a small amount of milk and grease the surface of the products with the resulting mixture.
Bake pies for 25 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C. Having taken them out, it is necessary to grease a surface with butter. This will give a special creamy aftertaste. No oil will remain on the surface of the dough - it is absorbed instantly.
