Step by Step method

  • Sprinkle the flour on a flat board and make a well in the middle. Add as much water as requested. Mix until you obtain a stiff dough. Knead for 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth and stiff. Break off the dough in small balls. Then roll each ball into a tube.

  • Use a knife and cut the tube into small discs, then place the side of a knife at the top of the little disc and pull the knife across the disc of dough, it will wrap up over the knife.

  • Then turn the ear over your thumb. Done!
