Everyone loves them, well, or almost everyone. homemade baking always gives coziness and warmth, which is why hostesses love to cook it in order to please their household with delicious food or feed their beloved guests. And with what they just cook pies, as they say, for every taste and color - this is a matter of your imagination. So, the topic of today's article is kefir pies.

Pie with cabbage on kefir

We offer a recipe for a jellied pie with cabbage on kefir. It turns out to be very tasty, while it takes very little time and ingredients to prepare it.

What you need:

1.5 cups of kefir;
a couple of eggs;
half a teaspoon of baking soda;
a couple of glasses of flour;
200 g of fresh cabbage;
50 g butter;
salt and spices on your own.

Chop the cabbage.
Melt the butter in a skillet and simmer the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine eggs, baking soda, salt, flour and kefir in a separate bowl. Beat the dough.
Pour the dough onto a baking sheet and place the filling.
Cook in an oven preheated to 200 ° C. Readiness pirogue can be identified by a golden crust.

A few nuances that will help make this jellied pie even better:

It is best to prepare the filling with milk. The proportions are as follows: for 400 g of cabbage, half a glass of milk is taken. First, the vegetable is chopped and fried a little. After that, milk is poured into the pan to the cabbage, everything is covered with a lid and it remains to simmer for about half an hour. If desired, the filling can be seasoned and do not forget to salt it. Cabbage stewed in this way will be very tender and tasty.
To make the filling tastier, it is better to purchase young forks that are small in size. Do not put streaks in the filling, they do not stew well and remain tough, which negatively affects the finished product.
Before pouring the dough into a baking sheet, the latter must be covered with baking paper (parchment), which is pre-lubricated with sunflower oil.
Pay particular attention to the consistency of the dough. To make a cake worthy, the thickness of the dough should be akin to the mass for making pancakes or thick sour cream. Too thin a dough will prevent the cake from rising and may not set well.
Pouring such a cake can be done in various ways. The easiest way is to put the filling in a deep baking sheet, pour the dough on top and mix everything with a spoon. But the best thing to do is to first pour half the dough into a baking sheet, spread the filling, and then cover it with the rest of the dough. Then it will really look like pie, in the first case, it may resemble a cabbage casserole.
As a basis for making the dough, you can take not only kefir, but also mayonnaise. The first is, of course, preferable in terms of healthy eating and neutrality of taste. Mayonnaise, on the other hand, gives the dough a rich flavor, but the baked goods are more nutritious.
