Directions

  1. In a bowl, pour in the warm water and dissolve the yeast. Gradually add the strong flour and the wheat flour, and knead until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. ≈ 10 min
  2. Remove the dough from the bowl and cover it with a cloth for 1 hour.
  3. Once the dough has rested, return it to a bowl, create a well in the center, and add the beaten eggs, milk, and oil paint. Knead, first with a mixer if necessary, then by hand, adding the flour until the dough becomes elastic again.
  4. Form small balls, about 75g each, and stretch them until they are very thin. ≈ 10 min
  5. Heat a large amount of sunflower oil in a pan and fry the pancakes until they are golden brown.
  6. Once the oil paint has dried, generously sprinkle it with sugar. ≈ 2 min
