Plăcinte
Pan-fried pastries filled with cheese, cabbage or apple.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Flour
- 1¼ cups Warm water
- ½ cup Oil
- 400 g Fresh cottage cheese
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ cup Dill

- 2 tsp Salt
Method
- Make the dough — Knead flour, warm water, oil and salt for 10 minutes until very elastic, then rest under oil for 1 hour.
- Stretch — Stretch each piece by hand until nearly transparent — this is what makes plăcinte flaky.
- Prepare fillings — Mix the cheese with eggs and dill; separately braise the cabbage with onion.
- Fill and fold — Put filling in the centre and fold the edges over into a flat square parcel.
- Fry — Cook in a lightly oiled pan 4 minutes a side until golden and blistered.
- Plăcinte are ready — Serve warm.
