Crispy chebureki on choux pastry
5 servings
60 minutes
Crispy chebureks made from choux pastry are golden, browned pastries with juicy meat filling that embody Crimean cuisine. Their history is rooted in Tatar traditions where chebureks were considered a symbol of hospitality. The choux pastry makes them especially airy and crispy, while the filling of a mixture of beef and pork minced meat with milk adds juiciness and richness of flavor. A slight sharpness from garlic and the sweet aroma of onion make them irresistibly appetizing. Perfect with hot tea or fresh ayran, they reveal their best taste when warm. This is not just a dish — it's the atmosphere of southern sun and sea breeze encapsulated in a thin crispy crust.

Take out the dough, shape it into a sausage, and cut it into equal parts (I got 9 pieces), roll them into flat cakes 1-2 mm thick. Place the filling on one side of the cake and cover it with the other part, pressing the edges like dumplings. Fry in hot oil until golden brown over medium heat. Serve hot and eat immediately)
