Croissants with ham and cheese

In a bowl, start by mixing 100 g of sour cream with 200 g of flour and a pinch of salt. It is important to use quality sour cream, as it will influence the final texture and taste of the dough. If the sour cream is very thick, it is perfectly fine to add a little milk or cold water to achieve a more fluid consistency. Use a wooden spatula or a fork to incorporate the ingredients. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough that does not stick to your hands.

Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This step is essential as it allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which will facilitate the subsequent rolling out of the dough. In the meantime, you can prepare the desired filling. A delicious option would be to use cottage cheese mixed with freshly chopped dill and an egg, but you can experiment with various ingredients such as spinach, mushrooms, or minced meat.

After the dough has rested, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the desired size of the dish. Roll out each portion with a rolling pin until you obtain a thin sheet. Make sure the dough does not stick to the work surface by adding extra flour if necessary.

Once the dough sheets are ready, place the chosen filling on one half of each sheet. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges well to seal. You can use a fork to create a nice decoration on the edges.

Heat a non-stick skillet with a little oil or butter and fry each dish on both sides until they become golden and crispy. Serve them hot, alongside a garlic yogurt sauce or sour cream, for an extra flavor boost. This dish is perfect for a family meal or a party, where it will surely impress everyone with its delicious taste and perfect texture. Enjoy your meal!
