How to make
The flour and salt are mixed in a bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour room temperature ayran, oil, cream cheese and sugar into it. Crumble the yeast into the liquid and mix.
Add a little of the flour to the well until it is all absorbed.
Knead a smooth dough on a counter, sprinkling additional flour during the initial kneading. The dough should remain as soft as possible, but smooth and elastic.
When it is ready, put it back in the bowl and let it rest for 40 minutes to 1 hour, let it rise nicely.
The oil is heated to a moderate temperature.
Small pieces are torn from the dough, making sure not to crush the fluffy structure too much.
Make balls that are slightly flattened and drop them into the heated fat.
Fry until golden on each side and place them on absorbent paper.
The buhti are served with an extra cream cheese spread and your favorite jam.
They can be eaten with powdered sugar, honey or whatever you like.
The Cream Cheese Buhti are great!
