  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rye flour, all-purpose flour, and salt for the crust.
  2. Gradually add hot water and melted butter to the flour mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon.
  3. Mix until a smooth dough is formed. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  7. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling on each circle, leaving the edges free.
  8. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center, creating a ruffled border around the filling.
  9. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving.

To save time, you can use leftover rice or cook the rice in advance.
