How to choose products
- Flour must be of the highest quality if you want to get an airy and not flattened cake.
- I recommend using medium-fat kefir (2.5%) , as low-fat kefir will make the cake too fragile.
- Butter for the dough can easily be replaced with margarine , then your pie will be more juicy.
- When choosing pork, pay attention to the fact that its surface is dry and its color is pink - this is a sign of the freshness of the meat.
- It is better to use medium-sized onions , but if there are lovers of this vegetable among your household, you can take a large onion.
