Fried Liver Hand Pies
Are you a fan of hand pies? Then you've come to the right place! These fried pies, filled with liver and a few other tasty ingredients, are easy on the family budget and will deliciously feed not just your family but also the neighbors, your coworkers, and anyone else you happen to treat. For the filling you can use 750 g of whatever offal you like, but liver gives the mix a special flavor, so don't leave it out — you can even add more.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Sift the flour and add the sugar, salt, and yeast to it.
-
Step 2:
Mix everything together well.
-
Step 3:
Add the water and milk and keep kneading.
-
Step 4:
Add the egg and knead some more.
-
Step 5:
Add the oil.
-
Step 6:
Knead the dough until it's fully smooth and the gluten is well developed.
-
Step 7:
Set it in a warm place to rise for an hour or two, until it grows at least 2.5 times in size.
-
Step 8:
Like this.
-
Step 9:
Punch it down.
-
Step 10:
Let it rise a second time.
-
Step 11:
Soak the liver in milk for 30–40 minutes.
-
Step 12:
Wash the heart and pat it dry a little.
-
Step 13:
Trim the cartilage and fat off the heart.
-
Step 14:
Cut the lung into pieces that are easy to cook.
-
Step 15:
Put the heart and lung on to boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, skim off the foam.
-
Step 16:
Once there's no more foam, add the carrot and onion and cook for about 1.5 hours. Add the bay leaf 5 minutes before the end — for aroma, not bitterness.
-
Step 17:
Run the boiled offal through a meat grinder. In a separate bowl, grind the (raw) liver.
-
Step 18:
Finely chop the onion.
-
Step 19:
Melt the butter in a skillet.
-
Step 20:
Fry the onion.
-
Step 21:
Add the ground liver.
-
Step 22:
Fry, stirring.
-
Step 23:
When the liver and onion are nearly done, add the other, already-cooked offal.
-
Step 24:
Add 100 ml of the broth from cooking the heart and lung.
-
Step 25:
Season to taste.
-
Step 26:
The filling and dough are ready.
-
Step 27:
Shape the dough into balls for the pies.
-
Step 28:
Like this.
-
Step 29:
Roll out each ball into a round. Add a spoonful of filling.
-
Step 30:
And seal the pie.
-
Step 31:
And do the same with each one.
-
Step 32:
Fry in oil on both sides.
-
Step 33:
The pies come out fluffy and very tasty.
-
Step 34:
And filling, too.
-
Step 35:
You can even pack them along for a trip, for work, or a picnic... and treating the neighbors is a lovely thing to do!
- You can knead the dough by hand or in a food processor. If you knead it on the counter, try not to add extra flour. If it's hard to work, leave the dough for 5 minutes under plastic wrap, coat your hands with a thin film of oil, and continue — a dough scraper in one hand, the other hand lightly oiled, and it'll all come together. The dough also gets less sticky if you slap it against the counter a couple of times. That's how grandmothers used to "wake up" the gluten, and it still works today. Enjoy!
