Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dry yeast
- 2 cups milk warm at 115°F, divided
- 1/2 cup sugar divided
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 6 cups flour (5-6 cups, depending on the brand of flour), divided
Filling
- 2 cups poppy seed filling
Frying
- 3 cups oil for frying canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast with half a cup of warm milk and one tablespoon of sugar. Let the ingredients rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
- Either by hand or with a stand mixer, combine the eggs in a large bowl with the remaining milk, remaining sugar, salt, oil, vanilla, and sour cream.
- Add the yeast mixture and one cup of flour into the egg mixture. Whisk to combine and cover with a towel. Set aside to rest in a warm place for an hour.
- With your hands or a stand mixer, mix in the remaining flour in thirds.
- Knead the dough until it becomes elastic (at least 10 minutes).
- Let the dough rise for an hour.
- With lightly oiled hands, make small balls out of the dough, then flatten them out with your fingers and place a dollop of poppy seed filling inside.
- Fold over the sides and pinch the edges together to seal, form into balls.
- Fill a deep skillet with 2-3 cups of canola or vegetable oil and set to medium-low heat, heat oil to 350°-375°F. Fry the piroshky, flipping periodically with a fork until they turn golden brown all over, roughly 5-8 minutes total. Keep a close eye on the piroshky to make sure they don't burn, lower the temperature if needed so the oil doesn't get too hot.
- Lay piroshky on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
