• sugar — 1 tsp;
• salt — a pinch;
• soda — ¼ tsp;
• lemon juice — optionally;
• apples — 2 pcs;
• sugar — 1 tbsp;
• cinnamon — ¼ tsp.

Cooking method

Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Add salt, sugar, and soda. Pour in room temperature kefir and, optionally, a few drops of lemon juice - this will make the dough even more tender.

Knead a soft, elastic dough. Cover it with a towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the filling: peel the apples and remove the seeds, cut them into small cubes. Add sugar and cinnamon, mix well. Sprinkle with a few drops of lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 mm, cut out circles. Place the filling inside and seal the edges.

Steam the dumplings for about 8-10 minutes until soft. Serve with honey, sour cream, or butter.

The aroma of cinnamon combined with apples will create the perfect dessert or breakfast.
