Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather the ingredients. You can use butter, or margarine in its place. My mother — who taught me how to make the dough and how to fry egg-and-green-onion pies in a skillet — prefers margarine to butter. She swears the pies come out much tastier that way. Try both and compare!

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Now make the yeast dough. Take the dry yeast and mix it straight into the flour, then pour in warm milk. You can use water, but milk makes the pies more filling. I'd also recommend adding the margarine (or butter) to the dough. Finally, add the eggs, a little salt, and the sugar. Knead the dough thoroughly, then set it in a warm spot for an hour to rise.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, make the filling. Hard-boil the eggs, then chop them and mix with the onion. You can use green onion, but we usually use regular onion — fry it in vegetable oil and combine it with the egg.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    The filling is ready.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Take the dough and divide it into pieces, one for each pie. Roll out a piece and spoon the filling into the center. Shape into pies.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    We don't have an oven, so my mother fries the pies in oil in a skillet. I'd recommend the same — fry each pie on both sides until golden.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Arrange all the onion pies on a platter and cover them with a napkin. Enjoy!

  • The most common and simplest filling is onion with hard-boiled egg. Everyone makes it a little differently. I've shared the recipe my mother came up with — I hope it works for you and that you enjoy it. These yeast pies come out fluffy, soft, airy, golden, and very appetizing, with a juicy filling that perfectly complements the dough. Cook with joy!
