Are Pirozhki baked or fried?

Question by Rozmin: Pirozhki: baked or fried?
What is your favorite? Baked or fried pirozhki? And, regardless of which one is your favorite, when you make them which way do you cook them? Oh yeah, and what’s your favorite filling? 🙂
I ask “how do you usually make them” because even though I like to bake them, my boyfriend whines if they aren’t fried. 😀 My favorite stuffing is carrot with onion and egg!

Baked with two butter applications during the baking.
Mince meat with Mozzarella cheese, canned sweet corn and green pea.
The mince is best mixed,
60% beef and 40% pork.
You just made me hungry my dear.

    Baked!
    My mom made the best baked pirozhki in the neighborhood and
    everybody asked her to make some!
    The dough was made with milk, butter, sugar, wheat flour, yest, and must stay and grow in warm place for while. They are coming out light as an air and smelling amazingly!
    Filling could be different. Salty filling would be – meat, baked cabbage,
    beans. Sweet filling may be cottage cheese, apples, pope seeds with raisins, ext. Yuummmm…

    They may be both baked and fried. I, personally, like them with cabbage. They are also not bad with cranberry or lemon. I prefer them baked.

    i love them baked, never tried them fried before. i honestly don't remember how to make them though, it's been 7 years since last time i made them. but my favorite filling is eggs w/ cabbage, which u make first before putting it into the dough. i believe u boil the eggs and fry the cabbage, then mix the 2 together

    Baked. I use Pillsbury layered biscuit dough – it's already cut in perfect portions and doesn't rise. For filling: Lean burger meat with fried onion and sour cream; fried cabbage with fried onions and mushrooms; mashed potatoes with fried onions. Bake at 375F for 10 min. If you want the dough to turn out a bit more moist, try lightly glazing each pirozhok with eggs. Beat 1-2 eggs in a bowl, use a cooking brush to coat the top of each pirozhok on the baking sheet.

    Good luck.
