About Buryat boobo
Elina Khaltanova shares this tested classic boovy recipe within Buryatia’s varied household traditions. Milk, butter, eggs and sugar enrich the dough, which is cut into small pieces before frying. The name also appears as boobo in Buryat food accounts.
The dough’s dairy richness and sugar provide its main flavour, with salt and baking soda completing the mixture. Powdered sugar coats the finished pieces, and sour cream is selected from the offered accompaniments.
Cuts through the dough allow the corners to be pulled into twisted shapes. The pieces brown in vegetable oil and are drained before their sweet topping and cream accompaniment.
