Shelpek

Ingredients

Quantities for 7 servings.

• 500 g Flour
• 300 ml Kefir
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
• 50 g Butter, melted
• 500 ml Oil for frying
• 1 tsp Salt

Method

1. Mix the kefir with the bicarbonate and leave it five minutes; the mixture foams.
2. Add the egg, sugar, salt and melted butter and stir until even.
3. Work in the flour a little at a time and knead a soft dough that stays slightly tacky.
4. Cover it with a cloth and rest it half an hour at room temperature.
5. Divide it into seven balls and roll each into a thin twenty-centimetre round.
6. Prick each round in several places with a fork so it does not balloon in one bubble.
7. Fry them in hot oil a minute a side, to golden spots, and drain them on paper.
