Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh curd cheese
  • 1/2 bunch finely chopped dill
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tea glass milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method

  1. Whisk the egg, milk, and salt together in a deep bowl.
  2. Add the curd cheese and finely chopped dill, then mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, kneading into a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
  4. Break walnut-sized pieces from the dough and roll them into cylinders (fitil) with your hands.
  5. Melt the butter in a wide pan and fry the shaped dough on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot.

Adding the flour gradually while kneading will keep the texture of the dough much softer.

FAQ

Can other cheeses be used instead of curd cheese?

Yes, crumbly unsalted white cheese or ricotta works wonderfully as well.

Can the dough be prepared in advance?

You can knead the dough the night before, store it in the fridge, and fry it quickly in the morning.
