Fried pies with whey and jam

40 minutes
Fried pies with whey and jam are a classic of Russian cuisine, evoking warmth and childhood memories. The tender dough made with whey becomes airy and soft, while the apple jam adds a sweet, slightly caramel note. The preparation process involves dipping the dough in ice water, making it particularly elastic and delicate. These pies are perfect for family tea gatherings, especially on cold evenings when you want to warm up with delicious homemade pastries. The fried golden crust makes them appetizing, while the filling provides a balanced taste between sweetness and slight acidity. Fried pies with jam can be served as a standalone treat or complemented with sour cream or fresh berries.
