Fried Hand Pies with Porcini Mushrooms

This is an all-purpose dough that works for all kinds of baking. The pies come out wonderfully fragrant, with a rich, savory flavor, and they're light — almost weightless — thanks to this dough. They pair beautifully with a sauce made from sour milk, tomato paste, ground cilantro, garlic, and salt.

  • Everyone in our family loves mushrooms in any form — especially mushroom pies, whether fried or baked. This time we went with fried. Start with the dough: pour the sour milk and water into a bowl, add the 2 yolks, salt to taste, and the citric acid, and whisk together. Separately, combine half the flour with the starch and baking soda, add that to the liquid mixture, and start kneading a soft (not stiff) dough, gradually working in the rest of the flour in small additions. When the dough stops sticking, it's ready. Wrap it in plastic and chill it. Now for the filling: cut the lamb tail fat into small cubes and render it in a skillet over gentle heat; while it sizzles, dice the mushrooms and add them to the cracklings to fry. Dice the onion and add it to the mushrooms. Fry for about 5 minutes, then add the adjika (optional, but the flavor is fantastic), ground coriander, and salt. Cover and let it simmer another 3–5 minutes over low heat. Let the finished filling cool to at least warm. Now the easy part: roll out small rounds of dough, fill them, and seal. Pour oil into the skillet — as much as you like — and fry the pies on both sides. Keep the heat moderate, since this tender dough can scorch quickly. It's nice to serve a sauce alongside so the pies aren't too dry — the simple sour-milk-and-tomato-paste sauce mentioned above works great.
