At the mere mention of pies with jam, memories of childhood immediately come to mind. Nowadays you can’t find such delicious baked goods in stores. So let's remember the recipes that our grandmothers used to cook. Of course, their composition has undergone some changes, but the taste remains the same.
The oven is most often used to prepare this dessert.
Let's find out why:
- The products are more airy.
- Butter dough is more suitable for sweet filling.
- It is possible to give baked goods any beautiful shape. For example, you can make open envelopes or simply decorate the top.
- Spend less time at the stove.
The choice of filling is always important too. It can be prepared in advance or taken from winter supplies if you are making preparations. More often, housewives like to use plum, cherry and apple jam.
A very important point is the consistency of the filling. So, if jam is applied to a baked product, it should be thick. But when the product is baked immediately with this type of fruit filling, it quickly caramelizes, bursts and becomes dry. You can correct the situation by boiling it for a while in a water bath with the addition of a small amount of water.
Be sure to cool the jam before applying to the dough.
Medium thickness is the norm, but even under the influence of high temperatures it can cause trouble, and liquid jam is initially inconvenient to work with.
There are several preparation methods to ensure that the jam does not leak out of the pies:
- put 1 tsp. starch (potato, corn) or semolina per 250 g of filling, put in a steam bath and cook for 5 minutes;
- use fruit jelly, which you will need 1 tbsp. l. per glass;
- Many people use white bread crumbs or ground biscuits.

Now let's look at the test preparation options.
Any fermented milk product is suitable for this method. This dough is universal, as it is suitable not only for baking, but also for frying in a pan.
In our version we use:
- 300 ml kefir;
- egg;
- 1 tsp. soda;
- 2 tbsp. l. Sahara;
- 350 g flour.
Initially, we extinguish the soda in a cup, pour in kefir at room temperature and mix well. At this time, lightly beat the egg and sugar. Let's mix everything together.
You can avoid using granulated sugar for this dough if your filling is very sweet.
Add flour in portions, which it is advisable to sift through a sieve. The dough should not be too thick, we achieve a soft and pliable base. Let the bun rest for a while and start cooking.
Whey pies recipe
I suggest using yeast-free dough on whey with the addition of soda. This type of baking dough is often chosen by those who are contraindicated from consuming yeast for health reasons. Pies without yeast turn out soft and airy, but it is not recommended to leave them on the second day, since the dough made with whey and soda quickly becomes stale. Although, to give pleasant softness, the product can be slightly heated in the microwave.
Recipe information
- Cuisine:Russian
- Type of dish: pies
- Cooking method: frying
- Servings: 25 pieces
- 1 hour
Ingredients:
- jam – 100 ml
- serum – 200 ml
- granulated sugar – 150 g
- soda – 0.5 tsp.
- salt – 0.5 tsp.
- vegetable oil – 5 tbsp. l.
- flour – 700-800 g.
Cooking method
Pour granulated sugar, soda and salt into the bowl for kneading the dough. If desired, you can add vanilla sugar or extract for flavor.
The whey for the dough should be heated to 30 degrees. It needs to be poured into the bowl and mixed with its contents. The sugar should completely dissolve. If the whey is not acidic, then you will need to pour in 1 tbsp. l. table vinegar or lemon juice.
Instead of whey, you can use yogurt, kefir, or sour cream diluted with water. Excellent dough comes out with beer.
Then you need to gradually add sifted premium or first grade wheat flour. After adding the next portion, you should thoroughly knead the dough with the whey each time so that no lumps remain. Using a bread machine when kneading dough is very helpful.
Along with the flour, you need to add any refined vegetable oil. It will make the dough less sticky and more pliable and elastic. You can knead first with a whisk or spatula. The thickened dough should be brought to the desired consistency with your hands. It should be soft, quite sticky, but easy to separate from the walls and bottom of the bowl.
. Cover the finished dough with a towel and leave to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, the gluten contained in the flour will swell well, as a result the dough will become fluffier and more porous. In addition, when the dough is allowed to stand, the liquid in it is evenly distributed, due to which it acquires elasticity and becomes obedient when sculpted.
Then your hands and work surface should be greased with vegetable oil. The dough should be divided into portions the size of an average chicken egg. You should get about 25 lumps.
Each portion must be flattened with your hands, giving the shape of a circle with a diameter of 10 cm. Make sure that the dough is not very thin, otherwise it will tear at the filling site. Place 1 spoon of jam in the center.
If there is no jam, replace it with thick jam. If the jam is liquid, it needs to be thickened with potato starch. For 100 g of jam, add 1 tablespoon of starch, mix everything together, and bring to a boil. When heated, the jam and starch will thicken.
To get rid of the syrup that is inevitably contained in the jam, you can strain it using a colander or sieve.
Then you need to tightly seal the edges of the dough, forming a pie and place it on a greased surface with the seam down.
When all the pies are ready, you can start deep-frying or frying in a frying pan with plenty of vegetable oil. The oil should cover the pies about halfway.
Choose a fairly deep frying pan. First, place the pies in the heated fat, seam side down. You should not place them too close to each other, otherwise they will stick together. As soon as they are browned, turn them over and fry on the other side until golden brown. There is no need to cover with a lid; the pies will cook just fine without it. The fire should be slightly less than medium. If you make a large flame, the products will brown very quickly on the outside, but the inside of the dough may remain raw and sticky.
Place the finished whey pies with jam on a paper napkin to remove excess oil. Now all that remains is to prepare the tea and serve the delicacy to the table!
On a note
- Pies from this dough can be made both sweet and savory. If you are planning to make a snack version, do not put sugar in the dough, add a pinch of salt. The filling may be different. Liver pate will do; grated cheese mixed with chopped green onions; chopped boiled egg with rice; crushed boiled potatoes or pea puree combined with fried onions.
- The sweet version of pies can be made not only with jam. A very tasty filling is made from cottage cheese, to which sugar, raw egg yolk and raisins have been added.
- Be sure to sift the flour well before working. If you see that there are a lot of sticky lumps left at the bottom of the sieve, this means that the flour has a high level of moisture, which can negatively affect the quality of the dough.
How to make pies
From the main piece of dough you need to pinch off a small piece, the size of a chicken egg, and roll it into a ball with your hands.
We place the ball on the table dusted with flour and press it down a little and lightly roll a piece of dough with a rolling pin.
Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of the cake.
We fill the pie in the same way as dumplings are made.
Then, you need to twist the seam on the pie inward and lightly press the seam itself onto the table.
Thus, we get a small, neat pie. The pies must be placed tightly next to each other on a baking sheet covered with baking paper greased with vegetable oil.
Leave the pies placed on the sheet at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow them to rise.
Kefir dough pies
Kefir is an excellent base for airy yeast-free dough. It is important that the fermented milk product is of good quality. If it is stale and acidic, the finished dough will taste sour. As in the previous recipe, to give the dough a porous structure, we add soda rather than yeast. There is no need to extinguish it with vinegar or lemon juice; this function will be taken over by the lactic acid contained in kefir. You can replace kefir with whey.
Ingredients:
- thick apricot jam or jam – 250 ml
- kefir/yogurt – 0.5 l
- egg – 1 pc.
- sugar – 1 tbsp. l.
- salt – ½ tsp.
- baking soda – 1 tsp.
- flour - 3 glasses of 200 ml (not too full)
- vegetable oil for frying – 1 cup.
Cooking method
- Pour kefir into a bowl, add soda, sugar and salt. Mix everything. The soda should enter into a chemical reaction with kefir, foam will appear on it, and it will increase in volume.
- Next, add the egg to the bowl and mix with a fork or spoon.
- Now you need to add flour to the remaining ingredients in small portions. When only 2 cups of flour are added, the dough is still quite liquid and can be mixed with a spoon. Add a third glass of flour and begin to knead the mixture with your hands. The dough comes out semi-thick, thicker than for pancakes, but much softer and thinner than if it were made with yeast. It sticks a little to your hands and doesn’t hold its shape quite well, but you shouldn’t be overzealous with adding flour, otherwise the finished product will be tough.
- Before you start forming the pies, grease your palms with vegetable oil to prevent the dough from sticking. From a large piece of dough, pinch off a small lump (the size of a medium-sized apple), flatten it with your hands, giving it a flat round shape, about 1 cm thick. This dough should not be rolled out, it will spread on the table.
- Place 1 tbsp in the center of the cake. l. jam. Lift the edges of the dough on both sides and pinch with your fingers, forming a secure seam. There should be no holes in it so that the filling does not leak out and does not burn in the pan. Flatten the pie slightly, giving it a flat boat shape.
- Pour 1 cm thick oil into a deep frying pan and heat it. Place the pies in the pan, seam side down and 1 cm apart. Reduce heat to low, but not too low. Fry the pies with apricot jam until golden brown on both sides.
- During the frying process, the amount of oil in the pan will decrease and you will have to add it.
- Serve the product warm, it tastes better.
Jam can be replaced with fresh cherries or sweet cherries, previously prepared. Take 350-400 g of berries, separate from the seeds. Pour 1 cup of sugar over the peeled berries and leave to stand for 1 hour. During this time, juice will be released from the berries, which needs to be strained. Use the strained berries to fill pies. They can be sprinkled with additional sugar. If you use freshly picked berries immediately, without separating the syrup, the filling may leak during frying, the seam of the pie will split and the filling will burn.

Snack pies made from beer dough
I offer a version of salty yeast-free snack pies that can be served with first courses, salads and as an independent snack. We will knead the dough using beer, which perfectly replaces yeast and does not require loosening with soda. The filling can be prepared from meat (liver pate), lightly salted cheese, potatoes, fried cabbage. In my version, the filling will be prepared from simple available products - green onions, rice, eggs.
This is my universal dough recipe. If you like sweet fried pies, knead the same dough, only eliminating the salt and adding 2-3 tbsp. l. Sahara. The filling in this case will not be salty, but sweet, for example jam.
Ingredients for 12 servings:
- flour – 0.5 kg
- light beer, filtered – 1 tbsp. (200 ml)
- salt – 1 tsp. (0.5 for dough and 0.5 for filling)
- eggs – 5 pcs. (2 for dough and 3 for filling)
- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l. into the dough and 1 cup for frying
- boiled round or long rice – 300 g
- green onion – 1 bunch, 50 g
- butter – 1 tbsp. l.
- ground black pepper - a pinch.
Cooking method
- Mix eggs with vegetable oil, 0.5 tsp. salt, beat. Add beer, stir.
- Gradually add flour to the dough and knead a fairly dense dough. Leave it to rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: boil the rice and eggs. Chop the onion and eggs quite finely and mix them with rice. Melt the butter and add to the filling. Now all that remains is to add a pinch of salt and a little ground black pepper to the filling for taste and aroma. The filling is ready.
- Divide the dough into 12 parts (a little more is possible, then the pies will turn out miniature). Roll out each part into a flat cake, inside which place 1.5 tbsp. l. fillings. Shape the pies into an oval boat shape or round and flat like a tablet.
- The last stage is frying the pies in hot vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown.
As you can see, yeast-free dough made with whey, kefir or beer turns out amazing, and pies made from it fried in a frying pan, with jam or other filling, cook quickly and simply melt in your mouth. From such dough it is easy to prepare both a sweet and savory product, which can be eaten as a snack with other dishes instead of bread. All you have to do is decide which type of dough and filling to choose.

Homemade pies with jam in the oven are a wonderful dessert for tea. They can be very diverse, have different shapes and fillings. Many housewives consider preparing this dish difficult and time-consuming, but this is not so. Of course, before you start cooking, you should decide on the dough. There are many options here.

- whisk;
- baking tray;
- oven.
Ingredients for the dough:
Additionally:
- milk – 3 tablespoons;
- chicken yolk – 1 pc.;
- butter – 50 g.
Cooking sequence
Preparing the dough
- Pour yeast, granulated sugar and 150 grams of sifted flour into milk, heated to a temperature slightly above room temperature. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Beat the egg into a bowl, add salt and beat a little until the salt dissolves. Pour the resulting mixture into the dough. Add oil.
- After mixing again, we begin to gradually add the remaining flour and knead the dough.
- After kneading for 15 minutes, the finished dough will stick a little to your palms. To avoid this, grease your hands a little with vegetable oil and do not add any more flour.
- If you did everything correctly, your dough should look like in the photo.
- Place the dough in a large bowl, lightly dusted with flour. Place the bowl in a plastic bag and tie it with a knot so that there is free space with air on top. After an hour, knead the dough slightly, form a bun and again place it in the bag for 30 minutes.
- We take out the dough, divide it into 12 (or more) equal parts, give them a round shape and place on a board lightly sprinkled with flour, cover with a towel on top.
- In this form it should stand for about 15 minutes.
Forming and baking pies
- Take each of the 12 pieces of dough one by one and use your fingers to shape it into a round cake, stretching the dough from the center to the edges.
- In the center of each cake we place 2 teaspoons of jam or thick marmalade (in our case, apple, but you can use it at your discretion).
- We form a pie and carefully pinch the edges.
Important! Pay special attention to shaping; poorly glued edges of the pie will lead to the filling leaking out and burning during baking. - If necessary, cover the baking tray with baking paper and grease it with oil. We place the pies on paper with a small distance from each other so that they do not interfere with the growth of the “neighbor” during the baking process.
- To give our pies a beautiful appearance, before placing them in the oven, brush them with a mixture of beaten egg and three tablespoons of milk.
- Place a baking sheet with pies in a preheated oven at 180 C° and bake for about 25 minutes.
- The dough bakes well and quickly, so when you see the browned pies, you can take them out. Grease the tops of the still hot pies with butter; it will be quickly absorbed, but will add a pleasant creamy taste.
Serving the finished dish
To avoid damaging the pies, it is best to pull them together with the paper onto the table and let them cool. After which the paper will easily separate from the pies.
Ready-made pies are a great addition to tea or a small snack at home or on the go. It is better to serve them to the table on a large platter or tray. We eat with pleasure!

Recipe No. 2. With thick apple jam
We need:
For filling:
- Thick apple jam – 600 gr.
Preparation:
Take slightly warm milk, pour it into a plate and immediately. Then add sugar to the dough. Shake the milk until all ingredients are completely dissolved, then add a glass of sifted flour. Mix everything thoroughly so that no lumps form. As soon as you get the desired consistency, cover the plate with a towel and place in a warm place for 20 minutes.
The milk dough rises a little worse than the water dough. But this will not affect the quality and taste of the pies.
Separate the yolks from the whites of two eggs. We will need yolks in the dough, but we don’t need whites at all. Add the yolks and one egg completely into the dough. Add vanilla sugar.
If there is no vanilla sugar, then take half a bag of vanillin and mix it with 2 tbsp. l. simple sugar.
The butter needs to be melted. It should be slightly warm. Then add it to the rest of the ingredients. Stir until smooth and add salt. Stir everything well again and add flour. It needs to be poured in gradually so that lumps do not form.
The finished dough turns out very soft, it may even seem that there is not enough flour, but there is no need to worry, it should be like that - soft and tender, a little sticky. Another important point is kneading the dough, which will only benefit it. The better you remember it, the softer and more airy it will be. Cover the prepared dough with a towel and put it in a warm place to rise. It will grow up.
To make the pies the same, you can roll the finished dough into a sausage, and then divide it into portioned balls that need to be rolled out. Place a spoonful of jam in the center of the cake and close the pie. The dough must be pinched very well, because in the oven it will begin to expand and the pie may burst.
Place the formed pies onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them sit for a while and brush with beaten egg. in an oven preheated to 180°C until done. You should have 14 - 15 wonderful delicious pies.

At the mere mention of pies with jam, memories of childhood immediately come to mind. Nowadays you can’t find such delicious baked goods in stores. So let's remember the recipes that our grandmothers used to cook. Of course, their composition has undergone some changes, but the taste remains the same.
Pies with jam in the oven
The oven is most often used to prepare this dessert.
Let's find out why:
- The products are more airy.
- Butter dough is more suitable for sweet filling.
- It is possible to give baked goods any beautiful shape. For example, you can make open envelopes or simply decorate the top.
- Spend less time at the stove.
The choice of filling is always important too. It can be prepared in advance or taken from winter supplies if you are making preparations. More often, housewives like to use plum, cherry and apple jam.
How to cook pies without the jam leaking out
A very important point is the consistency of the filling. So, if jam is applied to a baked product, it should be thick. But when the product is baked immediately with this type of fruit filling, it quickly caramelizes, bursts and becomes dry. You can correct the situation by boiling it for a while in a water bath with the addition of a small amount of water.
Be sure to cool the jam before applying to the dough.
Medium thickness is the norm, but even under the influence of high temperatures it can cause trouble, and liquid jam is initially inconvenient to work with.
There are several preparation methods to ensure that the jam does not leak out of the pies:
- put 1 tsp. starch (potato, corn) or semolina per 250 g of filling, put in a steam bath and cook for 5 minutes;
- use fruit jelly, which you will need 1 tbsp. l. per glass;
- Many people use white bread crumbs or ground biscuits.
Now let's look at the test preparation options.
Quick recipe
Any fermented milk product is suitable for this method. This dough is universal, as it is suitable not only for baking, but also for frying in a pan.
In our version we use:
- 300 ml kefir;
- egg;
- 1 tsp. soda;
- 2 tbsp. l. Sahara;
- 350 g flour.
Initially, we extinguish the soda in a cup, pour in kefir at room temperature and mix well. At this time, lightly beat the egg and sugar. Let's mix everything together.
You can avoid using granulated sugar for this dough if your filling is very sweet.
Add flour in portions, which it is advisable to sift through a sieve. The dough should not be too thick, we achieve a soft and pliable base. Let the bun rest for a while and start cooking.
From yeast dough
An old recipe, which housewives often use even now, will make your baked goods airy.
First, choose a cooking method (frying pan or pies with jam in the oven), and then choose the right recipe for the dough.
Prepare:
- a glass of warm milk;
- 15 g live yeast;
- 110 g margarine;
- 2 eggs;
- a little salt;
- 90 g sugar;
- 500 g flour.
We cook according to all the rules:
- We put the dough by diluting yeast, a tablespoon of sugar and 4 tablespoons of flour in half a glass of milk. We are waiting for the rise.
- At this time, melt the margarine and cool.
- Whisk the eggs a little with the rest of the sugar and salt, pour in the milk, prepared dough and margarine. Mix.
- Sift the flour and add it to the cup, knead the dough. Leave to increase in volume by 3 times in a warm place.
We form the products and place them on a greased sheet, seam side up. Seal the edges carefully.
Don't forget, the dough must be allowed to rise on the sheet again. Then the workpieces can be greased with yolk.
Recipe No. 3. Another simple recipe
Components:
- Dry yeast – 1 tbsp. l.
- Milk – 1 tbsp.
- Sugar – 1/2 tbsp.
- Butter – 200 gr.
- Flour – 600 gr.
- Apple jam – 500 gr.
- Egg yolk – 1 pc.
Preparation:
Take the butter, which should be slightly melted. Heat the milk. In a large bowl, mix milk, yeast, sugar. Wait a little for the yeast to dissolve.
Divide the soft butter into portions and place them in the yeast mixture. Sift the flour and immediately knead the dough. When kneading the dough, you can add flour if necessary. The finished dough is soft, tender, and easily sticks to your hands. Wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Then we divide it into portioned balls, roll it out, and put jam in the middle of each cake. We pinch the edges well. Place the finished pies on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush their surface with yolk.
Heat the oven to 200°C, place our pies there, bake for 20 minutes.
Pies with jam in the oven are a dish that all family and friends will love; it will certainly delight and surprise guests. The shape of the pies can be any.
Ruddy and airy pies with jam are a drug for any sweet tooth.
Especially if they are baked in the oven.
Such products literally ask to be put into your mouth and are impossible to resist. Shall we indulge in some rosy pies?
Pies fried in a frying pan
This dough is slightly different from the previous one, but it is better to use it only for frying.
Buy the following products:
- dry yeast – 10 g;
- vegetable oil – 30 ml;
- milk – 1 glass;
- salt – ½ tsp;
- egg;
- sugar – 1 tsp;
- flour – 3 – 4 cups.
If dry yeast is used, then it is not necessary to use a dough. But unlike butter dough, this one will need to be risen at least 2 times.
- In a cup, combine all liquid products until sugar, salt and yeast are completely dissolved.
- Then add flour and knead the dough until it begins to stick to your hands. Leave covered in a warm place.
- Place the formed pies in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil, seam side down, so that the jam does not come out when rising.
