Prepare the dough by mixing flour, milk, dried or fresh yeast, egg yolks, butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla essence in a bowl.

Knead the dough until it is soft and elastic, then let it rise until doubled in size.

For the filling, combine curd cheese, sugar, eggs, semolina flour, raisins, and vanilla essence in a separate bowl.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into portions and roll each portion into circles.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, then fold and seal the edges to form pies.

Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash mixture.

Bake the pies in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
