Scroll down for English recipe

Crocante si sarate (mai mult sau mai putin, dupa preferinta) sunt tocmai bune langa o bere, cu prietenii sau chiar ca mic dejun.



Ingrediente (pentru 4 tavi)

• 200 g unt, moale
• 300 g branza sarata, data pe razatoare
• 500 g faina
• 4 oua
• optional: 1 lingurita piper, sare
• pentru pus deasupra: 1 ou, susan, mac

Cum se face

• Amesteca untul si branza.
• Adauga faina si amesteca.
• Pune ouale, piperul si restul de sare si amesteca bine pana ce se formeaza o coca omogena.
• Inveleste coca intr-o foaie de plastic si lasa la frigider 5 - 6 ore (sau peste noapte)
• Scoate coca din frigider si imparte-o in 4 parti egale. Ce nu folosesti pune in frigider.
• Bate bine oul folosit pentru uns
• Presara faina sub coca si deasupra ei. Intinde o foaie subtire (daca e prea groasa, saratelele sunt mai moi, nu crocante)
• Pune foaia in tava, pe hartie de copt. Taie fasii sau bucati. Unge cu oul batut si presara cu susan sau mac

• Coace in cuptorul preincalzit la 190 C (mediu) cam 15 minute, sau pana devin aurii
