I’m so happy to share this recipe, because it is super yummy and easy to make. My grandma used to make these, and it was another favorite breakfast or snack. My kiddos also love them. They are good stuffed with jam, feta cheese or any other cheese. You also don’t have to fill them with anything. Fry them just as they are,and then you can top them with your favorite toppings or just sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
Ingredients:
1. All Purpose Flour – 3 cups (400gr.)
2. Milk – 50mil.
3. Water – 50mil.
4. Yogurt – 50gr.
5. Eggs – 1
6. Sugar – 1tsp.
7. Salt – 1tsp.
8. Yeast – 2tsp.
9. Olive oil – for frying
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix until you make a dough. It should be a little sticky, but easy to remove from the bowl or hands. Let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled, this will depend on how warm it is in your kitchen. When it’s done rising, put flour on the surface, roll the dough as close as you can to a square, and 1cm thick. Then use a pizza cutter to cut it into squares. Then put the filling on top, and fold one side over the other and press with fingers along the edge. You can make squares again or triangles. For triangles, you simply fold over by taking one corner and connect with the opposite one. Fill a pot or a deeper frying pan about 1 to 2 inches with oil and fry them on medium (later you can recycle the oil),I fried them on 3.
I try to fry them to a toasty color on both sides.
Fruit Filling:
1. Strawberries and blueberries – 1 lb
2. Lemon juice – 2 tbsp.
3. Sugar – 1 tbsp.
Put the fruit, lemon juice and sugar on medium, and cook until it’s cooked, and the juices have reduced a little. Put aside to cool down. You can put it in the fridge if you want it less runny.You can also use jam if you want, since this is basically how you make jam. Also, if you like it sweeter, you can add more sugar to your preference. This came out not as sweet.
By mistake, I sprinkled powdered sugar on one with feta cheese, but the sweet and salty taste was actually pretty good.
