Hi Charla,
Might find them with the Serbian name for them, but no luck by
description or by just "Serbian meat pies" or "Kosovo meat pies."
The recipe below is for a kind of Balkan meat pie, but I have no idea
which country it's from.
Phaed
Runza (Meat Pies)
Note: Rhodes frozen rolls can be substituted for the Dough. Just roll
out thawed dough into 6-inch squares.
Dough
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 packages dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
Filling
1 pound lean ground meat
2 small onions, chopped
4 cups chopped cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a large bowl, place 1 3/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
Heat milk, water and shortening to 120 degrees. Pour over flour mixture;
add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low until blended. Beat 3
additional minutes on high. Stir in remaining flour; knead until smooth
and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place
until doubled, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, brown beef and onions in a skillet. Add the cabbage, salt and
pepper; cook until cabbage is wilted.
Punch dough down; roll into 12 (6-inch) squares. Top each square with
1/3 cup meat mixture. Fold into triangles. Pinch edges tightly to seal
and place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes
or until golden brown. Serve hot.
Yield: 12 servings.
