Indeed, they can be called a national product that has gained immense popularity throughout the post-Soviet space. And some, probably, remember their stuck together "domestic" version, sealed in large paper boxes of incomprehensible colors. Now times have changed, and the product looks presentable and attractive - it is easy and quick to prepare, it does not fall apart into "spare parts". However, few housewives know that these "ears of bread" are supposed not only to cook. You can also make deep-fried dumplings. They are delicious and original and are just as quick to prepare as boiled water. All in all, it's worth a try!
"Bread ears" (this is what the word "pelnyan" means in the Perm languages) is also different. For deep-fried dumplings, it's best to choose small varieties of the product. And all for purely practical reasons: large "sandals" can be perfectly fried on the outside, but remain moist on the inside. This fact is depressing for a novice cook, unless you are a lover of raw meat. Therefore, the shell of deep-fried dumplings should not be too thick, but preferably from durum grain flour. This prevents the dish from falling apart during the cooking process. However, you yourself can prepare a semi-finished product by rolling out the dough with your own hands and filling it with delicious homemade minced meat. But this article is not about that.
So, we figured out the main product - here we have it, laid out on a plate generously sprinkled with a layer of flour. Now it's up to the little (for the oil). What is it supposed to use for deep-fried dumplings? After all, for it, you can also use various components containing fat.
Earlier, several centuries ago, rendered animal fat was used for cooking. But we will not do this for various reasons: nutritional, ethical and others. For a modern composition, vegetable oil is best suited as a base. Which one to choose? Some people use ordinary sunflower (but not for salads, but intended specifically for frying). Some are corn (it is now widely available). And some gourmets advise using even grape seed oil for deep-frying - it supposedly has an optimal boiling point. But we won't, because then we will get insanely expensive dumplings. Deep-fried them, of course, can be fried on such an exotic product, and they will, of course, be delicious, but we are inclined to believe that this should be a quick and budget dish, right?
As an additive to vegetable oil, you can use a little butter (about 1 to 5 ratio). But it should be borne in mind that animal fat burns faster than vegetable fat.
We prepare deep fat as follows. Pour sunflower or corn oil generously at the bottom of the container (so that the fried product can be completely immersed). Warm up to a high temperature and add a piece of butter (you can also take a spread). When this ingredient has melted in the base, we make the fire on the smaller stove. Now you can start cooking.
Deep-frying with us should cheerfully squirt, and not quietly gurgle. And the product is to be covered with a ruddy crust, and not dull to swim in not fully heated oil, absorbing fats.
If you don't have a deep fryer on hand, you can use an ordinary saucepan or deep frying pan plus a metal sieve. We spread dumplings on it and immerse them in boiling oil.
The product must be immersed completely (or at least most) in deep fat. Then the dish will turn out “right”.
Well, here we come to the very process of frying. Everything is very simple. We spread the dumplings on the grid so that they do not come into contact with each other, and immerse them in boiling deep fat. How long does it take to cook? Knowledgeable sources say: to a golden blush. This usually takes 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings and the temperature of the oil. The finished dish is like seeds: crunchy and eaten instantly, goes well as a snack. Bon appetit, everyone!
If you are "originally from the USSR", then you should remember the Soviet dumplings. In my student days, there was no canteen in our educational building, only a buffet. Sometimes fried dumplings were brought there and it was cool - some kind of hot dish, not dry food. And then there was food shooting in the buffet. You take a fork, stick it into a dumpling, but it does not pierce and flies out from under the fork in one direction he understands, just without a whistle. So out of a dozen bought, 3-4 flew away, and each one. They were fried like that. At home, this degree of frying can be reproduced only in deep fat. You can also fry raw dumplings in a frying pan, they turn out delicious, but differently. Let's go in order and step by step.
Dumplings, of course, can be any - homemade or purchased. The technology is exactly the same. I had. The number of pieces will be limited by the size of the pan, since they need to be laid out in one layer and so that they lie fairly loosely.In the list of ingredients below, I give the quantity based on the diameter of the pan equal to 22-24 centimeters.
As you can see in the photo, they are fried, but not to full crunch.
To fry crispy fried dumplings that look like little whites you need deep frying, i.e. you will need to fry either in a deep thick-walled frying pan, or in a special deep fryer in a large amount of hot oil. Frying two portions (maximum 20) will require a lot of oil. If you fry in a frying pan, there will be a lot of fumes and splashes (in a smaller deep fat fryer).
Immediately I emphasize that I am not capable of such a feat as deep-fried dumplings in a pan. It's a pity for the kitchen ... for whatever you do, you have to pick up a rag after dinner and thoroughly wash the kitchen. I don't need it. Moreover, I have a deep fryer. But below I will tell you in parallel how to do it correctly in the device and without it.
We serve fried dumplings with any sauce to taste - sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.
Well, if you suddenly don't want to fry and decide to cook in a more traditional way, then take a look.

So quickly and deliciously, you can fry dumplings in different ways.
Remember the main thing:
I already laid out, it was rather a student version for dumplings from the store. For fried dumplings, homemade dumplings with vodka added to the dough are best. Dough with vodka does not absorb vegetable oil when frying. Whether you make dumplings or using it does not matter.
vegetable oil for deep fat
You can use frozen dumplings for frying, or freshly molded. I have frozen. Heat deep fat over medium-high heat.
Try the deep-frying temperature on one or two dumplings. The time for frying the dumplings should be 5-7 minutes, until a beautiful golden brown crust. At high temperatures, the dumplings will quickly burn out, but inside they will remain raw, at low temperatures they will simply cook. Dip the dumplings in deep fat one at a time, do not let them stick to the bottom until the dough is slightly cooked. When the next dumpling stops sticking, you can lay the next one. Fry the dumplings until tender, then leave on a sieve to glass the oil. You can put a paper napkin in a sieve.
Fried dumplings are a great dish for a friendly or family dinner, as well as a great beer snack. Enjoy your meal!!!
