  • Flour g 10
  • Water ml 150

Cook the mix and stir continually until it becomes creamy, thick and homogeneous. Form 10 piles of dough on a parchment paper and squeeze until they get 4-5 millimeters thick discs, then let it cool down completely.
Work the dough with 500 g or flour, one egg, 170-180 ml of tepid salted water and the pig fat until the dough becomes well worked and quite soft.
