Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make pies from puff pastry in a frying pan? While the dough is defrosting, do the filling. I have it from stewed cabbage, but you can cook them with other fillings: apples, rice with eggs, cottage cheese, etc. Chop the cabbage and fry while stirring in a frying pan with vegetable oil until soft (about 15 minutes), moderate heat. At the end, add the tomato paste and salt, mix. Simmer until tender, it took me 5 minutes.
Step 2:
How much to defrost the dough? I defrosted the dough at room temperature for about 40-50 minutes. It does not require strong defrosting - as soon as the dough becomes pliable, you can start cooking from it. I have dough in one layer. Cut the dough crosswise into strips. I got 4 strips measuring 10 by 21 centimeters.
Step 3:
Divide each strip into equal rectangles, the size of which will depend on the size of the pies. I cut each strip into 3 parts.
Step 4:
Then roll out each rectangle with a rolling pin so that you get a square. I have these squares 10 by 10 centimeters.
Step 5:
In the middle of each square, put a tablespoon with a slide of filling.
Step 6:
Pinch the edges of the pies tightly, giving them a triangular shape. You can pinch in the usual or curly way.
Step 7:
Preheat a frying pan with vegetable oil, make the fire slightly below medium. Put the dough pieces in a frying pan and fry them on one side until they are ruddy. It took me 3-4 minutes. You focus on your stove.
Step 8:
Turn the pies to the other side and fry them until tender. I fried for 2-3 minutes. On average, it took me 5-7 minutes for one serving of pies. In total, from this amount of dough, I got 12 pies, which I fried in three steps, since I had 4 pies in the pan at a time. I immediately put the finished pies on a platter, as they turned out not greasy and a paper towel was not required.
Such pies are delicious both hot and cold. I liked them with sweet green tea. It is better to use a ready-made filling for them, if, for example, you have raw minced meat, then fry the pies longer so that it has time to bake properly, or fry it in advance. Bon appetit!
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
