Authentic Georgian Pastry for Family Gatherings

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and egg. Gradually add it to the flour mixture while mixing until a dough forms.

Knead gently on a floured surface for a few minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is chilling, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

Remove from heat and mix in the crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside to cool.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 3mm thick.

Cut out rounds of dough and place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each round.

Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for decoration.

Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a shiny finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Once baked, allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious Georgian pastries!
