Tatar pastry

Tatar and Baskhir pastry recipes are an exercise in skill for novice cooks, a regular on the menu in fast food chains, and a staple for weekdays and holidays. Belyashi, or round, oil-fried buns made with unleavened or yeast dough and stuffed with minced meat, are widespread and called peremichi in Tatar or vak belishi in Bashkir.
