Instructions
Preheat oven to 180° C/ 356° F, fan.
For the dough:
Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, egg, milk and sunflower oil in a mixer bowl. Beat on high speed with the whisk attachment until you create a smooth, soft dough. When ready, remove the dough and wrap in cellophane. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For the filling:
Place all the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
When the dough is ready, dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the dough out to about 0.3 cm (1/8 inch) thick.
Using a 10 cm (4-inch) round dough cutter or a glass, cut the dough into circles.
Add 1 ½ teaspoons of filling in the center of each circle of dough and pinch the border to create pleats. When ready, transfer to a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Brush the pies with the egg wash and bake for 20 minutes.
When ready, allow the kalitsounia to cool for 5-10 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
