Kurnik is a closed pie in the form of a dome. You can cook it, both from butter and puff pastry. And the kurnik from the shortcrust pastry is simply excellent. The filling is usually done in several layers: boiled rice with eggs, seasoned with butter, slices of boiled chicken with milk sauce, fried mushrooms, chicken again and then rice. Each layer is covered with a pancake. A cake is baked in the oven at a temperature of 240 degrees. Readiness is checked with a knife or spatula, just lift the corner of the pie, and if it does not bend, then the chicken pot is ready. Together with it, sauce is served on the table, for this, we grind the flour with butter, add the broth and cream. Keep the sauce steamed until it looks like sour cream in consistency. Then grind the yolks with butter and add to the sauce.
