Balish with Dried Apricots

A mouthwatering, sunny pie for your family! Let's make a wonderful open-faced pie with an exotic name — balish. Balish is a traditional dish of Tatar cuisine, which is rich in marvelous baked goods. I love experimenting with fillings, and today's pie has a really interesting one: millet, pumpkin, dried apricots, and raisins — a lovely flavor combination!

    1. Crack the egg into a bowl, add the sugar and salt, and whisk together. Pour in the milk and melted butter, then sift in the flour and knead a soft dough.
    1. Rinse the millet a couple of times and boil it until half-cooked in lightly salted water. Wash the pumpkin, peel it, and remove the seeds. Cut the prepped pumpkin into small cubes and add them to the millet. Add the sugar and salt to the filling, along with softened butter and the diced dried apricots and raisins (soak the dried fruit in hot water for 10 minutes first), and mix the filling.
    1. Press the dough out over a pan greased with vegetable oil. Prick it all over with a fork and spread on the filling. Finish the edges however you like, and decorate the top with dried apricots (I made little flowers out of them). Bake in an oven preheated to 355°F (180°C) for 40 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
  • Here's to a sweet teatime!
