FAQ
The filling is too cold or the patties are too thick. Shape them small, use room-temperature filling, and fry over medium heat with a lid for the first 3–4 minutes to cook the interior through.

Беляши по этому рецепту получаються пышные и сочные, тесто прям воздушное. Главное фарш делать с луком через мясорубку и не жалеть начики. Жарю в глубокой сковороде, масла побольше чтоб плавали.
Don't open the oven door during the first two-thirds of baking belyashi. The sudden temperature drop can cause sinking, cracking, or uneven rising. Trust the timer and check only in the final stretch.
