Baked Fritters (Small Pastry)

Beat the egg with the salt and add the water, beating constantly until well mixed

Place the flour in a bowl, make a depression in the center and pour in the egg mixture

Mix with your fingers to form the dough, which should not be too hard

Open the dough thinly over a floured surface

Cut into 8cm diameter circles and place 1 tablespoon of dried blackberry in the center

Close each fritter tightly by pressing the edges with a fork

Cook the fritters slowly in boiling water

When they rise to the surface, remove them from the pot and drain

Place the fritters on a tray and moisten with melted butter or fresh cream

Note: You can also fill the varenyke with other fruits of your preference

Or use a savory filling: grated cheese mixed with potato, cucumber, or egg mixed with cheese to form a paste

In the case of savory fritters, cook them in water with salt and oil, and serve with melted butter, cream, or with a meat sauce.
