Ingredients
| 4 | eggs | |
| 1 tea cup | yogurt | |
| 1 tea cup | lard (or butter) | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | salt |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | baking soda |
| 200 g | white cheese | |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | savory (chubritsa) |
| 800-900 g | flour | |
| 1 heaped tsp | butter, for the dimples |
Instructions
REQUIRED PRODUCTS: 4 eggs, 1 tea cup yogurt, 1 tea cup lard (or butter), 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 200 g white cheese, 1 tablespoon savory (chubritsa), about 800-900 g flour, 1 heaped teaspoon butter for the dimples of the buns.
METHOD: In a deep bowl mix the eggs with the baking soda and the salt. Add to them the yogurt, the lard (which is lightly melted), the crumbled cheese and the savory (as you can see from the "step by step" photos). Sift the flour and gradually add it to the rest of the products. Knead a soft dough. Leave it to "rest" for 20 minutes. From the dough shape balls, each weighing about 100 g, and arrange them in a tray lined with paper or greased. In the middle of each ball make a small hole with your finger, in which you place a piece of butter. Bake at 180 degrees in the oven until golden color for about 30-35 minutes. They turn out very tasty and aromatic. Try them and share. Enjoy (may it be sweet to you).
