Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1⁄2 cups flour
1 ⁄2 cup water
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon vodka, optional
1 ⁄2 teaspoon white sugar
1 ⁄2 pound ground beef
1 ⁄2 onion, medium, finely chopped
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon parsley flakes, or finely chopped fresh parsley
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a large bowl, sift together sugar, salt (about 1/3 teaspoon) and flour. Add olive oil and vodka. Add water to the flour mixture (a small amount at a time) mixing it and kneading dough until it's even, soft and doesn't stick to your hands. Add a little more flour if the dough is sticky, or water if it's stiff. Place the dough aside and prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix together ground beef, finely chopped onion and parsley. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and stir in milk. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one side of the circle, leaving 1/2 inch space at the edges. Make sure there is no air inside chebureki and the edges are closed tightly. In a large skillet, heat the oil for deep frying (it should cover about 1/2 of a cheburek), reduce heat to medium and place 3 or 4 chebureki into oil (depending on the size of your skillet). Fry chebureki on both sides until nicely and evenly brown (about 5 minutes per each side). Makes 7 servings.
