- Margarine – 120 g;
- Leavening agent – 2 tsp;
- Eggs – 2 pcs;
- Salt – 2 tsp;
- Sugar – 2 tbsp;
- Flour – 900 g.
Ingredients for stuffing:
- Beets – 1 pc;

Preparation of beet pies:
For the filling, grate the peeled beets and carrots on a coarse grater. Put the vegetables in a saucepan, mix with sugar and bring to a boil.
If desired, you can chop some prunes for the filling. Stew the beet mass after boiling over low heat until ready.
5 minutes before cooking add prunes to the beets.
For the dough, pour leavening agent, sugar into warm milk, add a tablespoon with a handful of flour from the total mass. Mix the components and leave the opara for 10-15 minutes in the heat.
At this time, beat the eggs with salt, pour them into the ready opara. Add ⅓ of the flour and sift the baking soda
. Knead the dough, gradually pouring out parts of the flour. When the dough becomes homogeneous, pour the margarine into it and mix with the total mass.
On a table sprinkled with flour, knead the dough for about 10 minutes. It should become soft and not sticky. Grease the dough with vegetable oil and put it in a cellophane bag, tie it tightly.
Put the dough in a container filled with cold water. When the dough floats, it will be ready for forming patties.
Next, knead the dough slightly and divide it into two equal parts. We divide the dough into 65 gram
rolls
, cover them with cellophane and let them rise.
Then roll the rolls into tortillas and put the filling in them, seal them. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, lay the pies in it with the seams down.
It is important that the patties float in the oil.
Fry the patties on both sides until golden crust, pour hot oil over the top.
In the end, we have delicious flavorful soft patties with beet filling. You can replace margarine in the recipe with butter in the same amount.
