Pies with mushrooms and rice

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz
Butter - 5.3 oz
Vodka - 1 tablespoon
Onion - 2 heads
Dried Chinese mushrooms - 5.3 oz
Rice - 2.5 oz
Whole egg - 1 piece
Salt - to taste
Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil and finely chop the dried mushrooms. Cook a third of a cup of rice.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in vegetable oil until golden brown. Add the mushrooms to the same pan and cook for a few minutes alongside the onion. Mix with the rice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. The filling is ready.

Step 3

Sift the flour and add the frozen butter to it. Use a knife to chop the butter into cubes, then use your hands to rub the cubes into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour half a cup of cold water, add a tablespoon of vodka, and sprinkle in a teaspoon of salt. Knead the dough, shape it into a ball, cover with a cloth, and place it in the freezer for about fifteen minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin and use a large champagne glass to cut out circles. Place a teaspoon of filling on each circle. Pinch the edges of the pastries together and brush them with egg yolk to give them a nice finish.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pies on it. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 374°F for about twenty minutes, or until the pies are golden brown.
