Preparation time: 20 minutes
Chilling time: 1 hour
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 40 minutes
Number of servings: Approximately 20-25 snacks
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 300 g flour
- 200 g Delaco sour cream cheese
- 100 g Delaco Sofia grated cheese
- 100 g lard
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 teaspoons oregano
- ½ teaspoon hot paprika
For the glaze:
- 1 egg
Step by Step Preparation
1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help with the dough's homogenization. Measure the ingredients accurately to achieve the best results.
2. Sifting the flour: In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder. This process removes any lumps and aerates the flour, giving the dough a finer texture.
3. Mixing the ingredients: Add the cubed lard, sour cream cheese, grated cheese, sour cream, and salt. Use your fingers to combine the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
4. Kneading the dough: Once the ingredients are well mixed, knead the dough until it becomes non-sticky. This may take a few minutes, but don’t rush, as well-kneaded dough will result in fluffier snacks.
5. Chilling the dough: Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This step is essential as it helps to solidify the lard, making the dough easier to roll out.
6. Rolling out the dough: After an hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface until it reaches a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.
7. Cutting the snacks: Beat the egg with a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix the hot paprika with oregano in another bowl. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the snacks from the rolled-out dough. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
8. Glazing and seasoning: Brush each snack with the beaten egg and sprinkle the mixture of oregano and hot paprika on top. This step will give them a beautiful appearance and intense flavor.
9. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the tray with the snacks inside. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
10. Cooling and serving: Once baked, let the snacks cool on a wire rack. Then, you can store them in containers to keep them fresh. Enjoy them with a yogurt dip or a cold beer!
Practical Tips
