Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 4 granny smith apples
  • granulated sugar (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1

    --- Make the dough ---

  2. 2

    In a stand mixer, lightly whisk the eggs together. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and vinegar until it becomes foamy. Then add the salt, buttermilk, and baking soda mixture to the eggs.

  3. 3

    Add in the flour and mix together using the hook attachment. You'll know it's done mixing when the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the mixer bowl anymore.

  4. 4

    Place the dough onto a floured surface and divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log, then cut each log into about 7 equal pieces.

  5. 5

    --- Roll out the dough ---

  6. 6

    Form each piece into a ball and flatten it out into a circle using a rolling pin. (About 8 inches in diameter)

  7. 7

    Generously brush the melted butter onto one side of the circle and roll up tightly. Place the rolled-up buttery dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help stiffen the butter.

  8. 8

    Cut each rolled up circle in half and roll each half out longways. If you want, you can cut the ends so they look prettier. (Totally optional)

  9. 9

    --- Fill the turnovers with shredded apples and fry them ---

  10. 10

    Shred the apples and gently squeeze out any excess juices. Fill 1 side of the turnover with about 1-2 tbsp of the shredded apples and sugar to taste. Flip the empty side of the turnover on top and seal with a fork.

  11. 11

    Heat a skillet with about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat and fry each turnover for 2-3 minutes on each side.
