Grandma’s recipe – what the whole family adores
Belyashiki. Everything is done with our own hands.
Yeast dough: flour, salt, egg, lukewarm milk, yeast, sugar, vegetable oil. Kneaded, put in a dark place to rise (knocked out 2-3 times), it becomes airy and lush.
Minced pork and beef were twisted in a meat grinder, a little more chopped onion, salt and pepper (to taste), 1-2 eggs.
We pinch off the dough with wet handles, as we lay out the koloboks, knead into flat cakes with our fingers (without any rolling pins), put the mincemeat, fasten the dough on four sides and roll it into a ball (so that the juice does not flow out), slightly press down (so that it will lie down on the table), roll into flour (so as not to stick to the table).
Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and fry the whites on both sides until golden brown on a medium light for 5-7 minutes on each side. Allow the whites to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Grandma’s recipe – what the whole family adores
The whole family loves my Siberian dumplings. When we all get together, we make dumplings. But there is a recipe for a charming pumpkin drink – a very healthy juice and very tasty. This juice is loved not only by my family, but also by friends, acquaintances and even strangers – it is impossible to get drunk with this yummy!
My pumpkin juice recipe: cut the peeled pumpkin into small pieces, fill it with water, bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 hours (to evaporate the pumpkin smell), then pass this mixture through a blender, add water and sugar to taste, put on Fire. While this mixture is boiling, we make orange juice (we pass it through a juicer), add this juice to the pumpkin and 10-15 minutes. boil. We cool and drink. Bon Appetit! For a medium pumpkin: 2 cups of sugar, 6 oranges (squeeze one with the peel), it turns out about 9 liters of juice.
