Step 1:
How to make Tatar air baursaks? Prepare the products. Sift the flour — this will not only remove possible debris, but also saturate it with oxygen, as a result of which the products will turn out more airy and lush. Take milk of any fat content. Butter is natural and of high quality, without vegetable additives.
Step 2:
In a deep bowl, beat the eggs. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
Step 3:
Add salt and sugar.
Step 4:
Pour in warm milk.
Step 5:
Add dry yeast — here they do not play a major role and are added in small quantities to loosen the dough.
Step 6:
Add the melted butter and mix well. Read about how to melt butter in different ways at the end of the recipe.
Step 7:
Add flour in portions and knead the dough. Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough.
Step 8:
Well-kneaded dough turns out smooth and elastic, holds its shape well.
Step 9:
Cover the dough with a towel and leave for 15 minutes.
Step 10:
Next, divide the dough into 8 parts.
Step 11:
Stretch each part into a tourniquet.
Step 12:
Now cut each bundle into small pieces the size of a hazelnut.
Step 13:
Heat the deep-frying oil in a suitable bowl. To check whether the oil has warmed up well enough, you can do it in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process. Fry the baursak in small portions — they immediately increase in volume and inflate.
Step 14:
In a preheated deep—fry, they fry very quickly - literally for 2-3 minutes. In the process, carefully turn them over with a slotted spoon so that each piece is fried on all sides.
Step 15:
Put ready-made baursaks on paper towels so that excess oil is absorbed into them. If desired, sprinkle the baursaks with powdered sugar.
Step 16:
The output of the baursaks is large — it was enough for my big family, there is still a little left! Enjoy your meal!

Baursak (or baursaks) is a Tatar, Kazakh and Bashkir dish, and each nation prepares them with some differences. There are even differences in the name — Kazakhs often call this dish baursaki, but Tatars speak in the singular, i.e. baursak. This is something in between our doughnuts and brushwood (in appearance it looks more like donuts, but in taste it looks like brushwood). Try it — I'm sure you'll like it!

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. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

Butter can be melted in the microwave or in a water bath. How to melt butter in the microwave? Cut the butter into small pieces and place it in a special container. To prevent the oil from splashing when heated, cover the oil vessel with a paper towel. The oil should be melted either at the lowest power or in defrosting mode. At first, five seconds will be enough. Next, if the butter has not melted yet, set it again for 5 seconds and start the microwave. Repeat the process several times until the desired result.
How to melt butter in a water bath? You will need two containers of different diameters. Pour water into a large one and put it on the stove. Place the smaller container on top so that it is submerged in water by about half. Put the sliced butter into it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to melt. Stir the oil slightly to speed up the process. As soon as the pieces of oil are completely dissolved, remove the container from the stove.
