Kefir Placinte (Moldovan Cabbage Hand Pies)

Traditional Moldovan fried hand pies. Make a hearty dish! If you've never tried placinte, you've been missing out. They're one of our family's favorites. We make them with all sorts of fillings, but most often with cabbage. By the way, if you braise the cabbage together with ground meat (which we sometimes do), they're even better!

    1. Braise the cabbage ahead of time, seasoning it with salt and pepper as it cooks. 2. Warm the kefir — it shouldn't be hot, just warm. 3. Stir the salt and sugar into the warm kefir, then pour in the vegetable oil. 4. Add the baking soda. 5. Sift the flour and add it in small amounts to the rest of the ingredients, working it into a dough. 6. Knead the dough until it's smooth and supple and no longer sticks to your hands. 7. Divide the dough into pieces — I usually make six. Roll each one into a thin round and place the cabbage filling in the center. 8. Now give the placinte their traditional shape: first bring the opposite edges together and pinch them in the middle, then do the same with the side edges. Keep the corners pointed — stretch them out a bit and pinch all four together in the center. Set each placinta on a floured surface and press it lightly with your palm to flatten it a little. 9. Heat plenty of vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the placinte over medium heat until browned on both sides. 10. Transfer the fried placinte to a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. Serve them piping hot. Enjoy!
