Notes

Uniqop’s Advice:

Brush the top of Pirashki with yolk and saffron and sparkle some seasons on them before putting in the oven.
You can fry them in 5 tablespoon oils instead of baking in the oven, that would take 40 minutes or more.
You can use this recipe with different stuffings, such as chicken, sausages, or lunch meat.
Prepare some parsley and ketchup and pickles to serve your food with them.
