Steamed Pasty (Varenyky)

Beat the egg with salt and add water, whisking continuously

Place the flour in a bowl, make a depression in the center, pour in the beaten egg mixture, and mix to form a dough (it should not be too hard)

Roll out the dough (thin) on a surface and cut into strips with a cup

Filling:

Mix everything well

Knead the cream cheese very well until it becomes smooth, without lumps

Place the filling in the center of the dough strips and form pasties

(If desired, you can also fill with cherries, plums, or your preferred fruit.) Steam in boiling water with salt and 1 tablespoon of oil

When the water starts to boil again and the pasties rise to the surface, remove them with a skimmer and place them on a wire rack

Then, place the pasties in a baking dish and top with melted butter or margarine

Serve them well hot, with fresh whipped cream (whipped cream) or a good meat sauce.
