Delicious meat pies are made from yeast-free yogurt dough. Pies are baked in the oven. They are good both hot and cold and remain tasty and soft the next day if stored in a tightly closed bag.

Ingredients

For the dough:

• Flour – 3.5 cups (200 ml glass)
• Eggs – 2 pcs. (1 yolk and 2 whites)
• Natural yogurt, unsweetened (thick) – 100 ml
• Vegetable oil (odorless) – 100 ml
• Butter (softened) – 120 g
• Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
• Baking powder – 1.5 teaspoon

For filling:

• Minced beef – 300 g
• Carrots – 1 pc.
• Bulb onions – 1 pc.
• Garlic – 1-2 cloves
• Fresh parsley – to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste

To grease the pies:

• Yolk – 1 pc.

Directions

1. Peel and grate the carrots. Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. Fry onions and carrots in a frying pan until soft.

5. For a yeast-free dough, mix eggs (set aside one yolk to grease the pies), vegetable and butter, yogurt and salt.
6. Stir so that the mass is homogeneous.
7. Gradually adding flour and baking powder, knead the dough.
8. Roll the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and leave for 20 minutes.
9. Then divide the dough into parts according to the number of patties.
   Knead each piece of dough in the palms in a circle, put the filling in the center and fasten the edges of the dough, thus making a pie. The shape of the patties can be any.
