Method
- 1
Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm milk, melted butter and egg and mix to a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and stretchy. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
60 min - 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, then add the cabbage and cook over a medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.
25 min - 3
Stir in the 30 g butter, hard-boiled eggs, dill, 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. Cool completely.

Line two baking trays. Divide the dough into 16 balls (about 55 g each). Flatten each into a 10 cm round, put a heaped tablespoon of filling in the middle, then pinch the edges tightly to seal.

Place the buns seam side down on the trays and leave for 20 minutes to puff slightly. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
20 min - 6
Brush with beaten egg and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until deep golden. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before eating warm.
