Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 1/2 cup flour
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • Farmers cheese
  • 1. In a stand mixer lightly whisk the eggs together. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and vinegar until it becomes foamy. Then add the salt and baking soda mixture to the eggs.
  • 2. Add in the flour and mix together using the hook attachment. You'll know it's done mixing when the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the mixer bowl anymore.
  • 3. Place the dough onto a floured surface and divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log then cut each log into about 7 equal pieces.
  • 4. Form each piece into a ball and flatten it out into a circle using a rolling pin. About 8 inches in diameter
  • 5. Generously brush the melted butter onto one side of the circle and roll up tightly. Place the rolled up buttery dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help stiffen the butter.
  • 6. Meanwhile combine the farmer's cheese with salt and an egg.
  • 7. Cut each rolled up circle in half and roll each half out longways. If you want you can cut the ends so they look prettier. (Totally optional)
  • 8. Fill 1/2 of each turnover with about 2 tbsp of the farmer's cheese filling. Flip the empty side of the turnover on top and seal with a fork.
  • 9. Heat a skillet with about 1 inch of oil over medium high heat and fry each turnover for 2-3 minutes on each side.
