Recipe cheat sheet and helpful tips:
- When defrosting puff pastry, just take it out of the freezer and leave it on the table top for half an hour, after which you can start rolling it. This time is quite enough for the layers of dough to become soft and docile for rolling;
- Roll out the puff pastry from the center to the edges, then the sequence of layers will not be broken, and the cake will turn out to be lush and airy;
- When sending a baking sheet with baking to the oven, it is worth considering that it should be well heated, about 200-220 C, then the cake will quickly rise and brown, and all layers of dough will be baked, become crispy;
- The surface of the cake can be greased egg yolk, milk, or strong and sweet tea with bergamot, then the surface will become glossy and shiny, fried and will look appetizing.
In cooking, delicious and healthy food, there is always room for creativity and imagination when simple and usual recipe serves only as a basis, and you can supplement it as your imagination and your own taste tell you.
The "meat ears" include:
- Minced meat - 700gr;
- Onions - 2-3 medium heads;
- Milk - 100ml (if the minced meat is purchased and is too soft, it is better to exclude milk);
- Salt, pepper and other spices - to taste;
- Dough - in the original recipe it was dumplings with vegetable oil, but I think that any will do.
- Fat or vegetable oil - for frying.
Method of cooking "meat ears":
We aim dumplings and let it stand for 30 minutes. At this time, prepare the meat filling. To do this, put the minced meat in a small saucepan. 
Finely chop the peeled onions or chop with a blender, add to the meat and mix. 
Add seasonings and milk, stir thoroughly. 
Cut off a small piece from the dough and roll it into a thin layer (I made it about the size of a sheet of A4 paper). 
Lay out the prepared meat filling on the rolled dough in an even thin layer, leaving about 0.5 cm free on one edge. Roll the filled dough into a tight roll and cut into circles about 1 cm thick. 
If you want the ears to be thinner, it is better to press down the resulting circles with your hand so that they flatten. To make the ears easier to cut - the knife can be moistened with cold water.
Fry the meat rolls in a pan with hot fat or vegetable oil on both sides until tender. Since they are thin, it takes 5-7 minutes on each side. 
We spread the finished ears from the pan first on paper napkins so that excess fat is absorbed into them.
Transfer to a plate and serve!
