First, make the filling: mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms, browned ground meat with rice, fried cabbage with egg, thick jam — any of these works for this recipe. Now take a deep bowl, pour in the kefir, and crack in the egg. Add salt and sugar. Work in the flour, stirring constantly. Knead the dough until it stops sticking to your hands, then pour in a little vegetable oil, mix again, and cover it with a towel for 10 minutes. Once the dough has rested, roll it out thin with a rolling pin and cut it into equal rounds about 2 to 3 inches (5–8 cm) across. Alternatively, you can pinch off small pieces and shape the rounds by hand. Put filling in the center of each round and pinch the edges tightly shut. Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet, heat it, and add the pies seam-side down. The oil should come up around the pies as much as possible. They fry quickly on both sides until golden. And there you have it — your dish is ready, and you can proudly say you made everything from scratch instead of using a shortcut.
