Calories are an editor’s estimate per serving, not a lab measurement.
Knead flour, water and salt in a bowl until you get a smooth and soft dough.
Divide dough into walnut-sized pieces, cover with a damp cloth and rest for 15 minutes.
For the filling, sauté finely chopped onions in olive oil, then mix in cheese, spices and chopped parsley.
Roll out each piece of dough on a floured surface to dessert plate size.
Cook the rolled dough lightly on both sides in a hot griddle or non-stick pan.
Place the filling on one half of the hot dough and roll it up tightly.
Brush with melted butter and serve hot.
Note. Be careful not to dry out the dough too much while cooking, otherwise it might crack when rolling.
You can freeze them before cooking, then thaw and cook fresh in a pan.
You can also use cottage cheese or crumbled feta cheese for great flavor.
