Kurnik on kefir - general principles of preparation
• Dough for Kurnikov, cooked on kefir, can be made bland or rich, yeast and even sandy. It all depends on the type of cake baked.
• The classic version of the chicken is made from two types of dough. One goes to the base, and from the other pancakes, which are subsequently interbedded with various fillings.
• For the test you need to take kefir with the highest fat content and, preferably, not the freshest.
• To make the cake juicier for the meat filling, it is best to take chilled or fresh meat. It is used both raw and boiled. Cut into pieces or grind into minced meat.
• In simple chicken leaves, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms or boiled cereals (rice, buckwheat) are often added to the main filling. In complex, based on the classic recipe, prepare individual fillings. Subsequently, they are mated with pancakes.

Kurnik on kefir - cooking tricks and useful tips
• To make the rods well up and bake, put the products only in a well heated oven.
• Shape in which large complex cakes are baked, cover with a lid or foil. Then the top of the cake will not burn.
• In the closed chicken rods at the top, be sure to leave a hole or pierce the cake (its top layer) in several places with a fork. In complex pies through a hole you can always pour broth for juiciness. In ordinary closed, it will go through the extra juice and steam. Because of this, the dough will not be wet in the cake.
