LET’S COOK

How to make it

01

Mix the kefir with the bicarbonate and leave it five minutes; the mixture foams.

02

Add the egg, sugar, salt and melted butter and stir until even.

03

Work in the flour a little at a time and knead a soft dough that stays slightly tacky.

04

Cover it with a cloth and rest it half an hour at room temperature.

05

Divide it into seven balls and roll each into a thin twenty-centimetre round.

06

Prick each round in several places with a fork so it does not balloon in one bubble.

07

Fry them in hot oil a minute a side, to golden spots, and drain them on paper.
