Danya and I really like samsa, and I used to buy it in Russian stores. But samsa that is sold in the store near us is not very good (has too much fat in the filling), and I can’t eat it. So yesterday, since I have a lot of free time on my hands, I went through the trouble of cooking it at home. I think it came out pretty decent! 
The only thing that I didn’t like is that the dough came out a bit hard at the bottom, so I think that next time I’ll bake it at lower temperature. It probably makes sense to just buy a pastry dough in a supermarket.I found the recipe on Kuking.net forums. Here is my free-style translation. Read more…

How did you make them that shape?

А надо раскатать из теста круг, потом мысленно вписать в него равнобедренный треугольник и завернуть тесто внутрь по сторонам треугольника.
Кстати, я второй раз делала самсу с покупным слоёным тестом — намного меньше возни, а результат, на мой взгляд, ничуть не хуже. Но вариант с резаным мясом мне, пожалуй, больше нравится, чем с фаршем (только надо масла кусочек обязательно класть, чтобы было сочнее).
