Instructions

  1. 1 To make the filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened. Season with salt, pepper, and dill weed to taste. Allow to cool before using.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, to make the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm water and place in a warm location until frothy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Warm milk in a medium saucepan over low heat; gently whisk in eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Remove from heat.
  3. 3 Place 1/2 of the flour in a large mixing bowl and gradually stir in the milk mixture. Add yeast solution alternately with remaining flour, stirring after each addition; mix well. Knead until the dough forms a ball and does not stick to the bowl. (Note: Start with the 4 cups of flour. You may need to add more, a little at a time, as you knead the dough). Cover the bowl with a clean cloth. Set in a warm location and allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 30 to 60 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Pinch off pieces approximately the size of golf balls. Roll the pieces into disks about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter.
  5. 5 Fill the center of each disk with a heaping tablespoon of cooled beef mixture. Fold disks over the mixture and firmly pinch the edges to seal. Arrange on a flat surface and allow to sit for approximately 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lower piroshki carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes; gently turn and fry the other side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining piroshki.

Instructions

  1. 1 The night before serving, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees.
  2. 2 Line a lipped cookie sheet (approximately 12 by 18 inches) with parchment paper. Trace two side-by-side rectangles - about 5 inches by 12 or 13 inches - on the paper. Crumple the paper, then smooth it out again and line the bottom of the pan.
  3. 3 Whisk together confectioner's sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. 4 In the bowl of a mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until they turn from foamy to white and beaters just start to leave a trail. On low speed, add sugar mixture, a heaping tablespoon at a time. Increase speed to medium-high and beat to the consistency of marshmallow cream, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  5. 5 Just before forming meringues, flick water onto parchment with fingertips. Divide meringue in half, spooning two or three mounds down each traced rectangle. Use a rubber spatula, or a cake decorator's metal offset spatula, to fill in and even out rectangles.
  6. 6 Set meringues in oven, close door and turn oven off (but leave oven light on). Let meringues dry overnight. Remove, then carefully set a wire rack or cookie sheet over meringues. Invert; peel off parchment and turn right side up. (It's OK if edges chip.) Wrap in foil and set aside until ready to proceed.
  7. 7 No more than two hours before serving, whip cream to soft peaks, beating in remaining sugar and the vanilla. Set one meringue on a platter. Spread with half the cream and sprinkle on half the berries. Repeat with remaining meringue, cream and berries. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to serve.
