Who says you need eggs and milk for a delicious treat? This recipe proves that with just a few simple ingredients, you can create something truly special. Let’s dive in!
Ingredients:
- 350g flour (about 3 cups)
- 150ml hot water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 75ml oil
- 6g baking powder
- Oil for frying
- 200g cheese (your favorite kind)
- Oregano
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Make a Well: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour hot water and oil into the well.
- Mix Until Combined: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: While the dough is resting, shred your cheese.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
- Fill and Fold: Place a spoonful of cheese in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges tightly.
- Fry the Pockets: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully fry the filled dough pockets until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain and Season: Remove the fried pockets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with oregano and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a crispier exterior, let the fried pockets cool slightly before serving.
- Experiment with different fillings, such as spinach and feta, or ham and cheese.
- You can also bake these pockets instead of frying for a healthier option.
