Any guest of Udmurtia, which is located between the Urals and Vyatka, professional chefs and amateur cooks will surely feed their favorite national dish - pastries. The famous dish - dough tartlets with different fillings - has become a truly cult folk dish. The curly cheesecakes have a name that says: “in front of the stove,” in front of the fire. They are baked in an oven or oven, not in extreme heat, but are served only hot.
Udmurt repels are usually prepared for the holidays, although traditionally these mouth-watering pastries can be tasted not only at a festive feast in a restaurant, but also during an ordinary meal in a cafe or canteen. The raised and beautifully pinched edges of the flour plates hold well any filling: meat (pork, beef, lamb), potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, various cereals, cottage cheese and other products. A special delicacy is re-baking with minced meat from the blood of slaughtered animals or using various forest herbs.
The dough for baking is prepared both unleavened and shortbread or on kefir. As a rule, any filling is filled with an omelet mixture (with the exception of sweet baskets with jam or other sweet filling). The recipe for baking with mushrooms is very popular. For the dough, take 500 g of flour, 2 eggs, 200 ml of kefir, salt - to taste. For the filling - 1 kg of fresh mushrooms, 2 large onions, for the omelette filling - 4 eggs, 200 ml of milk, salt, pepper - to taste.
Mushrooms and onions are pre-chopped and fried with onions in a sufficient amount of butter or vegetable oil for the selected variety of mushrooms. The dough is kneaded and divided into equal-sized balls, from which cakes with a diameter of 8 to 10 cm are rolled out using a rolling pin. The edges of the cakes are carefully "rolled" to form the necessary sides, and the resulting "saucers" are slightly baked in the oven or oven - first without filling. Then the baskets are filled with minced mushroom, filled with a mixture of eggs and milk and baked at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.
To obtain a golden brown crust, it is recommended to grease the baskets with sour cream before baking. When served on the table, an even more elegant look will give the products lubricated with butter.
Hot baking is laid out on a platter in a slide. A hearty lunch will provide an offer to the table of additional liquid dishes: meat broth or baked milk.
