Fried liver pies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the dough, first make a dough. In a deep bowl where we will knead the dough, pour warm dough, pour dry yeast into it (I used a whole small bag weighing just 7 grams), add a tablespoon of sugar and 150 grams of flour - that’s 5 heaped tablespoons. Mix everything well with a whisk so that there are no lumps and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes. During this time, the dough will rise and bubble.

2. STEP 2

   

   After the allotted time, add melted butter, vegetable oil and an egg to the dough - the egg should be at room temperature, it is also better to beat it with a whisk first. Mix everything with a spoon.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the sifted flour into the bowl with the dough, pour salt on top of the flour, and knead the dough. Considering that 150 grams of flour from the total amount went into the dough, we will need another 400 grams - this is approximately, depending on the flour. It took me exactly that much flour with dust added. The dough came out not tight, but soft, elastic and pliable. Form the dough into a log, cover it with cling film and leave it warm for another 30 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   The filling can be prepared while the dough is rising - this way we will save time on preparing the pies. Peel the onion and chop finely. Grind the liver in a blender for 10 seconds.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fry the onion in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil over medium heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   After 5 minutes, when the onion becomes transparent, add the liver, salt and mix. Simmer for 7 minutes until the liver is ready - during this time you need to stir the filling several more times. This method significantly reduces the time than if we boiled the liver and then crushed it in a blender or meat grinder. The filling is ready.

7. STEP 7

   

   Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 2 parts, each of which is divided into 7-8 equal parts. Take one piece, knead it with your hands into a flat cake, place a tablespoon of filling in the middle, fold the edges and pinch them tightly. Press down the pie a little to make it flatter. We do this with all the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the pieces in a frying pan with preheated vegetable oil over medium heat on both sides until cooked.
