The most satisfying and tasty Tatar triangles are made from a yeast base, as well as using meat and potatoes.
In general, such products are prepared for three hours.
So what products are needed to make tasty and high-calorie echpochmaks? The recipe with a photo of this Tatar dish involves the use of the following components:
How to cook echpochmak? The recipe for these products requires careful kneading of the base. To do this, combine milk and warm boiled water in one large bowl, and then dissolve granulated sugar and yeast granules in the resulting mass. Leaving the mixture alone for ¼ hour, add table salt and sifted flour.
All ingredients are thoroughly mixed until a thick base is formed. After this, cover it with a towel and close the lid. In this form, the yeast dough is left in a warm room for 90 minutes. From time to time it is beaten with a fist.
Now you know what ingredients the dough recipe requires to use. Echpochmak should be prepared in stages. After the base has been placed in a warm place, you can begin processing other products.
To prepare the filling we need ground beef. To do this, the meat product is passed through a meat grinder along with onions, and then seasoned with spices and mixed thoroughly. Subsequently, potatoes are added to the minced meat, which are peeled and chopped into small cubes in advance.
How should echpochmak be formed? The recipe for these products requires only a cutting board and rolling pin.
After preparing the necessary equipment, a small piece is torn off from the risen yeast dough, and then rolled out into a flat cake with a diameter of up to 13 centimeters. Place 1.6 large spoons of filling (minced meat with potatoes) in the center of each product. After this, the base is fastened and a neat triangle is obtained. If desired, you can leave a small hole at the top of the echpochmak.
How is echpochmak baked? The recipe for such products involves the use of an oven. It is preheated to 200 degrees, and only then the prepared semi-finished products are placed. To do this, they are laid out on a greased sheet, leaving a distance of 2-3 centimeters from each other.
How long does it take to implement the recipe we are considering? Tatar-style echpochmak takes quite a long time to make. You will need two hours to prepare semi-finished products (filling, dough). Another 60 minutes are needed to bake all products.
After the Tatar triangles are completely baked, become rosy and fragrant, they are carefully removed from the sheet and placed on a common plate. Such products are served only hot, along with a cup of sweet tea.
As mentioned above, Tatar triangles can be prepared using completely different bases. We have already talked about how such a dish is made using yeast dough. Now I would like to present you with an easier way to prepare tasty and tender meat products. 
So how to make echpochmak? The kefir test recipe requires the use of:
As for the filling, for it we will need:
Every housewife should know the recipe for kefir dough. After all, only thanks to it you can quickly and tasty prepare hearty products with meat.
So, to knead the base, the cooking fat is removed from the refrigerator in advance, and then thoroughly ground together with the sifted wheat flour. Having received the creamy crumbs, proceed to preparing the other part of the base. To do this, kefir is heated a little over the fire, and then the baking soda is immediately quenched in it. After the drink stops foaming, add beaten eggs.
All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and then poured into the previously prepared bulk mass. After kneading the products, you should get a fairly smooth and elastic dough that does not stick to your palms. It is placed in a bag and left aside while the filling is prepared.
Above we have provided you with information about what ingredients for the filling the recipe we are considering requires. Echpochmak with chicken and onions turns out very tender, satisfying and nutritious. Such products are good to serve along with meat or vegetable broth. But first things first.
To prepare the meat filling, wash chicken breasts and dark poultry meat thoroughly, and then remove all the skin and remove the bones. The remaining pulp is finely chopped with a sharp knife. Onions are also chopped exactly.
After the described steps, both ingredients are combined in one bowl and seasoned with spices (salt, pepper). Finally, all products are thoroughly mixed with a spoon or hands.
All Tatar echpochmaks are formed in the same way. After the kefir dough is kneaded, it is divided into many pieces and formed into balls with a diameter of no more than 3 centimeters. Then all the products are rolled out on a board into not very thick cakes. Place 1-2 large spoons of filling in them and carefully pinch the edges, forming a miniature triangle. 
The finished semi-finished products are placed on a baking sheet, which is pre-greased with vegetable oil. If you want to get more rosy and appetizing products, then apply a beaten egg on them.
After all the triangles are formed, they are placed in a preheated oven. At a temperature of 200 degrees, products with meat and onions are cooked for a whole hour. If you made small echpochmak, then you will need a little less time (about 47-50 minutes).
After preparing the Tatar triangles in the oven, they are carefully removed from the baking sheet and greased with butter while hot. This action will contribute to the appearance of a special aroma and taste of the products, and will also make their crust softer and give it an appetizing gloss.
The total cooking time for Tatar triangles with kefir is about 1.5 hours. Note that this is twice as fast as yeast products. That is why this method is very popular among housewives. 
After baking all the echpochmaks and greasing them with butter, the products are immediately presented to the dinner table. Additionally, they are served with hot meat or vegetable broth. You can also serve strong sweet tea to the table.
