For kystyby you will need the following ingredients.
Dough:
- Wheat flour - 10 cups
- Milk - 1 liter.
- Butter (melted) - 200 g.
- salt.
For cakes we will prepare 2 types of filling:
- Mashed potatoes.
- Millet - for the simplest recipe you will need:
- millet - 1 glass;
- milk - 4 glasses;
- butter - 50-70 g;
- salt and sugar to taste.
The amount of ingredients is based on an approximate family of 3-4. In general, by weight, the dish will come out somewhere in the 1.4 kg. You will need a lot of mashed potatoes, a layer of filling in a kystyby usually takes a centimeter and a half. If you prefer porridge in the filling, you can cook more of it.
The value of the finished dish will be per 100 g: food - proteins 3.7 g, fats 12.2 g, carbohydrates - 12.8 g; energy value - 175.4 kcal.
Cooking method:
- For a start, it's best to prepare the filling.
- Mashed potatoes. Everything is simple here - we boil the potatoes and mash them. But the taste of kystyby depends on the filling, so the mashed potatoes should be just lick your fingers! You can add more milk and butter. It is also good to add salt, pepper, herbs or other seasonings to taste - the main thing is that in the end everyone would like the puree. You can add a raw egg - the potatoes will become tender and airy. Mix everything well - in no case use a blender, it is better to manually use a pusher or a whisk.
- Millet porridge. The groats need to be sorted out well and rinsed - it will be bad if the "stones" crunch on the teeth. We put the pan with milk on the fire, when it boils, add cereal and salt with sugar. As soon as the porridge thickens, remove from heat and add butter. The finished porridge should be put in a warm place, wrapped in a warm towel or blanket - it should "reach". If you are cooking in a multicooker, leave it in the “preheat” mode for a while.
- Now we knead the hard dough: if the dough is soft, it is better to add a little flour. Mix milk with flour and spices and form a dough ball. It must be wrapped in plastic wrap (or a bag) and left to rest for 10-15.
Do not add eggs to the dough - it will become tough when baked!
- Remove the dough from the foil and knead well again.
- Divide the dough in half, put one part again in a film (bag) to rest. Roll out the second "sausage" and divide into small balls.
- Roll each piece into a circle. If you want a perfectly even circle, you can cut it out using a large plate or a saucepan lid.
- Next, fry the cakes in a dry frying pan, without oil. If opportunities allow, then you can connect a second frying pan.
If you are still new to this type of baking, it is better to roll 5 cakes in advance and put them under a towel on a floured table and in no case on top of each other - they will stick.
- When one side is browned, turn it over to the other and grease the fried side with melted butter. When the other side is ready, put the oil side down and spread on the top.
There is no need to spare the oil - the more soaked, the tastier it will be. But cover more liberally with butter when you transfer the cake to a plate so as not to spoil the next. It is better to keep ready-made and oiled cakes under a towel - this way they stay soft and will not break.
- When all the cakes are fried, it's time for the filling. We take the cake and put the filling on its half, cover with the second side.
When we have finished with this half of the test, we take on the other and repeat all the actions again. The dish is ready.
Even if you wish, you can warm up the ready-made kystyby in the oven - at 160 degrees for 15 minutes. After the oven, be sure to grease with oil - they will be dry.
That's all, bon appetit!
