I live in Bashkiria, the population is multinational - but, nevertheless, Bashkirs and Tatars live here mainly. And, accordingly, the cuisine is more national - the food ration is huge.
And, today I'm cooking Kystyby! These are unleavened flat cakes stuffed with mashed potatoes - a popular dish of the Tatar, Bashkir and Udmurt cuisine. It is convenient to take with you as a snack to work or school, and it is very pleasant to have breakfast with them with hot tea or coffee.
Cooking ingredients:
For the test:
Water - 350 ml
Salt - 1 tsp l.
Flour - 600-700 g
For filling:
Potatoes - 8-10 pcs.
Oil - 50-100 g
Milk (optional) - 50-100 ml.
You can add a little fried onions and herbs
And, let's move on to cooking
Pour water into a container for kneading dough, add salt and flour, and knead the dough. It should turn out about the same as on dumplings, but not so steep - a little softer, so when kneading, we do not add the flour all at once, but in parts. If you shift the flour, then the cakes will turn out to be harsh, like rubber.
Next, pinch off small pieces (50-70 g) from the dough and roll out the cakes. To make it even more even, you can cut the circles with a culinary metal ring or put a plate on top and walk around the edges with a knife. The thinner you roll, the more delicious the kystyby will be. Thick cakes may not bake at all.
Now we heat the pan over low heat, there is no need to pour oil - the cakes will be baked in a dry pan. Fry each cake for about 2-3 minutes, during which time the cake will bubble up and become covered with dark spots. Turn over and cook on the other side.
Immediately after frying, all cooked cakes must be greased with a piece of butter - this will make them soft and elastic.
To prepare the filling, boil the potatoes in salted water, then turn them into mashed potatoes with a crush, then add everything to taste - butter, milk, herbs, onions.
We spread the mashed potatoes on one half of the tortilla and cover with the other half. We determine the amount of potatoes for our own taste - maybe you want to make cakes with a large amount filling, and someone wants to add a minimum of mashed potatoes in order to fully enjoy the cake itself, soaked butter. We do the same with the remaining cakes. Cook, taste, Bon appetit!
