Step-by-step cooking recipe
Mix softened butter, warm water and condensed milk in a bowl. Add the yeast and mix well.
Prepare the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, add salt, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder, mix.
Combine the liquid ingredients with the dry ones. Knead the dough first with a spoon, then knead with your hands on a table sprinkled with flour. It should turn out to be a moderately soft, elastic dough, with a consistency resembling dough for dumplings.Cover the dough with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
When the dough has risen enough, divide it into equal parts and roll it into sausages 1-2 cm thick. Cut the sausages into identical pieces of square or round shape.
Fry the baursaks in a cauldron on hot vegetable oil, turning them over periodically, until a golden crust forms (about 3-5 minutes). Fold the finished products with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to remove excess fat.
Cool the finished Tatar baursaks, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve to the table.
