Homemade cakes can be cooked in the oven, but frying them is much quicker. Do not add too much oil, baked goods should not be greasy. Use fresh or frozen fruits and berries, dried fruits, jams and marmalades for filling. Serve warm with hot tea or coffee.
Butter pies with berries

When the dough rises, crush it with a spoon. If possible, let the dough rise again. Then place it on a floured board. Knead the dough a little with your hands and divide it into small lumps, roll each into a cake. Put a spoonful of pre-washed and dried berries on it, add sugar to taste. Do not add too much sugar, otherwise it will leak out during frying. Pinch the pies and let them sit for 10 minutes.
Heat refined vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Place the patties seam side down and brown until golden brown. Turn the pieces over and brown on the other side. Reduce heat and bring patties until tender. Place them on a paper towel lined plate. Serve warm.
