Ingredients

For Dough:

  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt

For Stuffing:

  • ¼ lb minced beef
  • onion grated
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Salt
  • Pepper

For frying:

  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl for stuffing, and let it rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
  • Add all of the ingredients for the dough into a mixing bowl, and knead it with your hands or in a stand mixer with a hook attachment until it reaches a smooth, firm dough consistency.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, roll them into balls by hand, and cover them, so they do not dry out.
  • Roll out the dough balls with a rolling pin until it is 20 cm/8 inches in diameter.
  • Spread the stuffing in half of the circle. Leave space around the edges.
  • Fold the blank side of the dough over the stuffing. Gently press on the edges with your fingers so that they stick together. You can trim the edges using a pizza cutter.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into a large, shallow pan and heat the oil. Add a little more oil than you usually would for shallow frying; deep frying is not preferred.
  • When the oil is hot, place two Ci Boreks in the pan and fry on both sides for about 3 minutes in total until golden, turning occasionally.
  • Place the fried Ci Boreks on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot.
