About this recipe
Indulge in the comfort of home with these delightful pastries! A crispy, golden crust encases a fluffy, tender dough, while inside, a juicy, aromatic blueberry filling awaits. Because these pastries are fried rather than baked, the berries retain their freshness and vibrant flavor. Blueberries are naturally sweet, so adjust the sugar in the filling to your liking to ensure the pastries are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. They're the ideal treat for tea time or simply to brighten your day!

Preparation steps
Step 1
Start with preparation: thoroughly wash the fresh blueberries and sift the flour to make it airy. Gather all the necessary tools: a ladle, deep bowls, a whisk, a clean cloth towel, a rolling pin, and a frying pan. Don't forget to line the dessert dish with paper towels so that the finished pies can drain excess oil.
Step 2
Pour the milk into a saucepan and gently warm it over medium heat until lukewarm. Then, remove the saucepan from the stove and transfer the fragrant warm milk into a spacious bowl.
Step 3
Into a bowl of warm milk, add the dry yeast, a spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt, and one and a half tablespoons of vegetable oil. Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
Step 4
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it thoroughly over medium heat. Place 2-3 pies in the hot oil and fry them on each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the cooked pies to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat the process with all remaining preparations. Once the towels have absorbed the oil, carefully remove them from the plate.
Step 5
Serve these wonderful blueberry pies generously dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with fresh berries. They pair perfectly with aromatic tea, creating an atmosphere of comfort and enjoyment.
For dough:
Step 1
Set aside one tablespoon of sifted flour for rolling out the dough. Add the remaining flour to the milk-yeast mixture. First, knead the dough with a spoon, then with your hands until it becomes elastic and no longer sticks to them. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave it in a warm place for one hour to rise well.
Step 2
Lightly flour your work surface with the reserved flour. Turn the risen dough out onto the table, gently deflate it, and divide it into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a neat ball.
Step 3
Roll out each ball of dough into a round flatbread, 2-3 mm thick. Distribute the blueberry filling evenly in the center of each flatbread, then carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them tightly to prevent the juice from leaking out.
For filling:
Step 1
In a clean bowl, combine the rinsed blueberries with one tablespoon of sugar. Gently stir, being careful not to crush the berries.
Enjoy your meal!
