Skillet Pumpkin Placinte (Moldovan Hand Pies)

Try making a quick, delicious breakfast for the whole family! It turns out Moldovan cuisine isn't just mamaliga with brynza (cornmeal porridge with cheese) — it also has some wonderful, fragrant pastries :) Placinte are a quick fix we make at least once a month. When I was a kid, my mom made these pies on Sunday mornings. Now it's my turn, though my recipe is a little different from hers. So here it is.

  • In a large bowl, sift the flour with the salt, beat in the egg, and mix. Stir the baking soda into the slightly warm kefir, then pour it into the flour mixture right away and knead until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Melt the butter and brush it over the sheet of dough. Fold the dough in half and roll it out. Brush with butter again, fold in half again, and roll out once more. Keep folding and rolling this way until you have eight layers of dough. Cut the eighth sheet into 4 equal pieces — you should see the layers along the cut edges. Grate the pumpkin on a coarse grater. Roll out one piece of dough, mound the pumpkin in the center, and sprinkle it with sugar, leaving the edges bare. Fold the edges in toward the center to form a flat pouch, sealing the middle tightly. Roll it out a little on top — just enough to firm up the seams. Fry the placinte in vegetable oil in a hot skillet, covered, over low heat. When both sides are golden, take them off the heat. That's it! Enjoy!
