Footnotes:

Dishes don't get any more vintage Russian than this Piroshki Recipe. One of my Russian friends passed this on to me, and honestly, I could never thank him enough. The kids at my place love this amazing dish. All time is needed for the preparation. The cooking time is barely 20 minutes. Simple isnt it?
