Description

The most spring-like pies are made with green onions and eggs. They are tender in flavor and are great both as a snack and as a decoration for a festive table. The key is to find the right proportions of onion and eggs to ensure a slight sharpness from the greens and a rich egg density. In addition to the wonderful filling, our recipe also includes a guide to the dough, which can be used for pies with any other filling.

Mix the yeast with a tablespoon of sugar and 100 ml of warm milk, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.

Step 2

Melt the butter, then mix it with vegetable oil, milk, sugar, two eggs, and a teaspoon of salt.

Add the yeast mixture and 400 grams of flour, mix until smooth, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot for 30–60 minutes, until the mixture bubbles.
